Former Belize City Deputy Mayor’s name came up in auditor general’s reports

By BBN Staff: Former Belize City Deputy Mayor Eric Chang made local headlines when he refused to at first instance to testify before the Senate Special Select Committee back in 2017; however, Chang has even more problems stemming from the same Auditor General’s Report that he did not want to testify about because his name appears in there.

On page 319 of the report, Eric Chang’s name is listed as one of the many nationality requests that were processed that had serious procedural errors. The report shows that Chang applied for received nationality in with an application that was out of date. Chang received his nationality in July of 2000 after applying in June of
2000 with an application dated October 1999.

This did not stop Chang from serving as a city councilor under Mayor Darrel Bradley. Chang was one of only two witnesses that refused to testify before the committee and had to be summoned, the other was former Finance Comptroller at the Belize City Council Patrick Tillett. They eventually gave their testimonies in March of 2017 and professed that they had nothing to do with the Citizen Kim incident, which saw a Koren national receiving Belizean nationality papers while in a
Taiwanese detention facility.
