Make a Promise Kept

WRONG!
When speaking to the nation our 'leaders' ought to be mindful of what they are saying and in lieu of that they should keep their mouths shut. Granted, speaking "correct" English may be an impossibility but there must be an deliberate attempt not to make mistakes. This comes with preparation.

More so, these errors should be minimal if one is acting as the minister responsible for the education of Belizean children. But, these inaccuracies will occur when one is more concerned with bickering and speaking as if you are still in opposition than with governing.

Google this..."make a promise kept", a line used at the HoR last house sitting. Not a webpage is indexed with it.

It goes without saying and without the need for propaganda. The government of the day both central and local (in Orange Walk) are clueless when it comes to governing without their spirit of vengeance interfering. Hatred sometimes feels like the way to go but it only leads you astray. The Belizean government at Jan 2009 have placed blinders not only to the side of the eyes but in some cases on top. They are so intent on "correcting" the past misdeeds of some while neglecting the present... the Belizean people.

A newscaster on American TV commented on how George W. Bush had ratings lower than stomach cramps. And, he, the newscaster, doesn't know of much countries that still have a peaceful transition given said circumstances. Well yes, we do here in Belize.

We must keep our haven peaceful no matter what. But also, we must be economically independent and self-sufficient no matter what.

First, we must start with having the right people to do the basics--have functional drains, keep streets navigable, efficient garbage collection, to name a few.

Keep your promises, you all. They ARE meant to be kept. If u cannot do the job, do the honourable thing and resign or do the logical thing and wait to be voted out by our savvy Orange Walkeños.
