By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Minister of Natural Resources Cordel Hyde had a message for his Cabinet colleagues, and it came with a bit of an edge.
Speaking at the PUP’s National Party Council meeting at the Lord Rhaburn Plaza in Belize City, Hyde told supporters that ministers sometimes forget who put them in office.
“Ministers like to feel like they’re God’s gift to the world. We get swell headed and carried away sometimes,” Hyde said. “But you are God’s gift to the world. You made it happen.”
Hyde said party supporters deserve everything they receive, from jobs and land to houses and scholarships. He then joked that ministers should even give supporters their pay, before admitting he was going too far.
His remarks, along with comments from Tourism Minister Anthony Mahler, were seen by some as subtle shade amid tension within the party’s top ranks.
Mahler told the crowd that service is not about talking on the media, and called on party members to get it together and work as one.
Despite the undercurrents, the crowd was energized as party leaders pushed a message of unity and service heading toward the upcoming Municipal election.
