Government says that all the details of the Government's finances will be known when the Prime Minister presents the budget on Friday, March 9th.
That's two days after the elections, and just three weeks before the end of the fiscal year. To be sure, it's a very late budget presentation - but the Leader of the Opposition says he knows why government is waiting until after the election:..
Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition
"Of course he is delaying because of the elections. Because we know we are going to have a bad budget. We are going to see the amount of overspending, the deficits that are going to be presented to us and that probably there is going to be the tightening of the belt even more if they don't raise taxes on the Belizean people."
