Mayor Moya, just days after giving birth was dragged from her maternity bed and hauled before Magistrate Court to answer several allegations of financial and accounting irregularities at the City Council. The lame duck Mayor is no stranger to a mind-boggling, never ending series of scandals and irregularities involving City Council funds.
Outraged at the personal way Barrow had orchestrated her arrest and Court charges the Mayor had some choice words for her tormentor. Among those she used the words that by his behavior Barrow had shown he "had no balls". If Barrow was a manly person he would have ignored the comment. Not Barrow. He was seen the said week limping from his sick bed to attend a party meeting at UDP Headquarters rumored organized hastily to discipline and expel Mayor Moya.
The procedure was done in breach of basic legal principles and Mayor Moya obtained a Supreme Court Order blocking Barrow.
Now the unmanly Barrow has found a way to expel his critic. This weekend Moya was unceremoniously booted out of the UDP.
Which brings up the real question – since Moya was elected as a UDP and as the Mayoral Candidate of the UDP, how can she remain in the City Council as Mayor if the party has thrown her out?
If a priest was defrocked and put out of his denomination, can he remain in the Cathedral preaching on behalf of the denomination that expelled him?
In his haste to embarrass Moya, Barrow has now gained another item of notoriety – a UDP City Council headed by a UDP Mayor who is no longer a UDP officer.
Whoever cried that "Barrow is bad for Belize" is a political genius. Belizeans are seeing it every day that unfolds.
