The Opposition, United Democratic Party, says it will challenge the terminations of about twenty-four terminal workers and other terminations reported across the country. On George Price Day, the two dozen workers at the Novelo’s Bus Terminal in Belize City were given their walking paper, and a total of sixty employees in the Department of Transport were let go. There are also reports of terminations at the Northern Regional Hospital. The Opposition asserts that these persons were discriminated against because of their political affiliation, but PM Briceño says that the U.D.P.’s case holds no water. PM Briceño says that the U.D.P. should be ashamed of crying wolf because former Prime Minister Dean Barrow made no apologies for firing persons when the U.D.P. became the government.
