And while Courtenay seems to remain involved, or at least in tune with Belize's Foreign Policy, why is he still on the political rostrum giving speeches? We saw him giving a bawdy one at a weekend rally in Orange Walk South - and we asked him, why the rostrum for a man not on the ballot?:
Jules Vasquez
"You know, you're not on the ballot, per se. You remain very much in the in the thick of the PUP. We know you are a very close advisor to the prime minister. He consults with you on Christmas Eve about elections. But I'm just asking, why do you feel it necessary at this point to still make appearances in the hurly burly of politics when it's not perceived as your, your original jurisdiction, or your theater of choice."
Eamon Courtenay, SC, Attorney for the AG
"I was invited by Minister Mai to speak and to introduce him at the rally in San Lazaro. He and I work very closely. When I was Minister of Foreign Trade and he was Minister of Agriculture, looking for markets, helping on the sugar issue, etc., etc.. And I think that he is the excellent standard bearer, and I could never have said no to him."
