Briceno also responded to the Prime Minister's remarks on Mace-bearer Brian Yellowman Audinett. The PM has said his threats against and assault on the press were unacceptable, but in the next breath he said there's no way he would support firing Yellowman as Macebearer. That's consequential coming from Barrow as Party Leader because the UDP also controls the majority on the House Staff Committee which will deliberate Yelloman's fate this week. Briceno says Barrow is putting party before country:...
John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition
"I expect nothing different from that committee that's going to be meeting next week - that they are going to meet and keep Yellowman as the macebearer. It is a sad day for Belize and it is a shame that the Prime Minister has decided that he is going to put the political interest of his party above the interest of this country and the Belizean people."
