Madam Speaker, today I rise to speak on the matter of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Order, 2024 and the Minimum Wage Industrial Security Guards (Amendment) Order, 2024.

The Minimum Wage Act stands as a pillar of our labour legislation framework and serves as this Parliament’s acknowledgment of the pivotal role workers play in societal progress. Enacted in 1938, this legislation underscores the government’s commitment to safeguard workers from substandard earnings.

Under the Constitution of Belize, the Prime Minister can appoint an elected representative or an unelected person to be the Attorney General of our country. Most of the unelected representatives that were appointed, were made senators so that they could be a part of the Prime Minister’s Cabinet because of the importance of this powerful and significant portfolio.

commonplace in the international legal arena. This is because
most countries today are becoming more and more interested in
and concerned about maritime boundaries for the exploration and
exploitation of both mineral and food resources. Among the most
controversial maritime boundary disputes in the world over the
past couple of years is the West Philippine Sea conflict.

When some of us were growing up throughout our country of Belize, the Healthcare System was comprised of a; Hospital, Public Health Clinic and a Mobile Rural Health Team. When a person got sick he or she was taken to the Emergency Room to see a Doctor. When the Doctor evaluated the patient, he or she would decide on whether to admit the patient or to send him or her home with medication and give them a follow up appointment. If the patient was admitted to the hospital, the Doctor would give the patient or his family member the reason for the admission. Not too much has changed much except for the type of healthcare we are receiving in Belize today.

In 2002, the PUP Prime Minister of Belize Said Musa, and his administration gave the Commerce Bight Pier to a friend of his, Luke Espat, without consulting and getting the approval of the Garifuna citizens of Dangriga free of cost. After he took possession of the pier, he constructed a fence and a gate, employed a watchman, and deprived the Garifuna citizens of entering and using the facility. Since then, the Garifuna people are still deprived of using the pier, port, or any area in the vicinity.

The leaders arrived in Kingston this week and over the course of two days held a symposium and youth forum on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

The theme that marked the occasion was ‘Reparation and Royalty, Africa and Europe: Exploding Myths, Empowering Truths’.

There was a resounding call for history to be rewritten surrounding the transatlantic trade in Africans, particularly regarding the narrative that Africans and the European colonisers were allies or business partners.
