But how is the Leader of the Opposition feeling on the allowance cuts for PUP ministers? This is what she told us in Belmopan today:
Tracy Panton, UDP Party Leader
"Well, they afford to take a 50% cut on their allowances? Do you know that we have ministers of this country building several apartment buildings? Buying boats at a cost of $750,000. Driving multiple cars. Yes, they can afford-and let me be clear. That low blow that the Prime Minister offered in the House yesterday to say, 'Come on, opposition, join us.' I want you to know the opposition gets half of what the government ministers are receiving, and the opposition members do not have access to not even one quarter of the services, public services that are available through the ministers. So don't throw those jabs. He forgets. He forgets that this is a wrong world. And his day will come. He is arrogant, he is dismissive, he is rude, and he is bullish-and the people have had enough of that."
