PUP Candidates Had Bench Warrants In Their Recent Past
posted (December 18, 2014)
In our next segment we'll tell you about the huge mess that's been created at the Belize Tourism Board because Director Of Marketing Clive Meyers apparently faked his resume. And while the fraud appears elaborate enough, it could also be interpreted as a lack of due diligence on the part of those who hired him for such a senior post. Now, due diligence is a sometimes tricky thing - because, outside of an information society, thorough background checks can be difficult.

And the PUP had to do its own clean up before launching its Belize City Council slates. That's because bench warrants had been issued for two of their Belize City council candidates. Delroy Herrera told us that he paid half of the outstanding amount two months ago, and is paying the balance regularly.

There's another for Sanjay Pitts - another PUP councilor candidate. That one was taken out by Monica's Pawn Shop on December 6, 2013 - one year ago. Today the proprietor of Monica's. Gilroy Usher told us that he checked this morning and someone had dealt with the matter for Pitts.

Such warrants are taken out after debts are left unsettled. If left outstanding, committal warrants can get anyone whose name it is in hauled off to jail.
