We also got a chance to ask Faber, as acting Prime Minister, about his impressions of the fiery exit speech by outgoing Compol Allen Whylie. His address yesterday turned heads and raised eyebrows, as he lashed out at the media, critics and people he says worked from within to orchestrate his removal. The acting PM said it was most unfortunate but holds no ill will to the outgoing COMPOL.

Hon. Patrick Faber - Acting Prime Minister
"We certainly feel that it was unfortunate. We feel that the transition is going smoothly except for those remarks, it could have been a more joyous occasion, it ought to have been but naturally when circumstances like that happen, sometimes feelings are in the midst of it and the former commissioner I think was just being honest about how he felt. The criticism, whether those criticism were valid or not, I am not going to get into that, I'll just say that we really do wish him well as he departs a top job and we certainly look forward to the new commissioner having a bigger impact on the situation of crime, especially as it relates to Belize City here."
