Is "Yello" on Faber's Firing Line?
posted (December 2, 2019)
Brian Yellowman Audinett made headlines last week by putting the Deputy Leader of his own party, Patrick Faber on acid-blast. He called the man who seeks to be leader of the UDP "a sick puppy."

Well, tomorrow Audinett will have to go before that same man he calls a "sick puppy" - when he is called before the House Staff Disciplinary Committee.

As you probably know, Audinett is the Mace Bearer of the House of Representatives, the Sargeant-At-Arms, and with the mace, he asserts the supremacy of parliament.

But, he has been brought before the committee, based on an allegation that he threatened a member of the Senate, the PUP's Louis Zabaneh - who was attending a house meeting.

Zabaneh reported to Belmopan police that he was approached by Audinett who repeatedly hurled insults at him about being a thief. According to Zabaneh, the Sergeant at Arms was no more than five feet away when he moved towards him in a menacing manner and threatening to kick him out of the house meeting. Zabaneh made a police report against Audinette.

Well, tomorrow afternoon, he will have to answer before the Staff Discipline committee, chaired by the Speaker of the House, with the membership of Deputy PM Patrick Faber, John Saldivar, Attorney General Mike Peyrefitte, the President of the Senate, Darrell Bradley, the PUP's Florencio Marin, and a staff representative.

That meeting will be held after the parliamentary caucus which precedes Wednesday's House Meeting.
