Description

When a citizen has a complaint against the system, the Ombudsman’s Office is supposed to be one place to turn. But that office has been vacant for months, and social activist Jeremy Enriquez says the delay is more than administrative, it is a denial of justice. Enriquez is now taking the Government of Belize to court over its failure to appoint a new Ombudsman. Former Ombudsman retired Major Gilbert Swaso supports the challenge and is urging Belizeans to rally behind it.
