Back in July 2016, the beheading murder of Pastor Lewellyn Lucas made headline news, and William Danny Mason was later charged as the supposed murder mastermind in this heinous crime. You may also remember that part of the scandal of his connection with persons in high places was a fraudulent birth certificate.
He had several assumed identities, but the authorities uncovered a fake Belizean Birth Certificate which claimed that Mason was born in Crooked Tree Village to parents James Mason, a farmer from Cooked Tree, and his common-law wife.
From as far back as that time, the Prime Minister was alluding to internal investigations which indicated that 4 public officers from the Vital Statistics Unit aided in the production of this fraudulent document.
Well, 2 weeks ago, the Public Services Commission concluded a tribunal for these 4 officers, and terminated them. We asked Attorney General Michael Peyrefitte about it today, and he was very scant with details.
The Attorney General says that they are working on improving the processes at the Vital Statistics Unit to create a digital footprint for all certificates, so that the inside perpetrators of fraud can be better detected.
