The past few days - we've heard the PUP's Monchie Cervantes say the Prime Minister wasn't being truthful when speaking about him. And across party lines, that sort of thing happens all the time.
But, to have one UDP elected official refer to another UDP elected official as a liar? That would be very odd - and even more so if the one making the accusation is the Prime Minister. But that's just what happened. We have to start with the comment from the mayor which triggered the Prime Minister:
Darrell Bradley, Mayor - Belize City
"There is draft zoning legislation. I understand that those draft regulations went to cabinet this past Tuesday."
Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"And that there are zoning regulations that we were to consider on Tuesday. Well I am telling you if the Mayor told you that, the Mayor did not speak the truth. There were no regulations before cabinet on Tuesday. If the Mayor said that. I don't know whether he did, but if the Mayor said that, I am telling that is untrue. There were no regulations schedule to come to cabinet on Tuesday and as far as I know from checking now with the minister of local government, there are no regulations on his desk that are awaiting submission to cabinet."
