Senate meeting underway in Belmopan

By Aaron Humes: The Upper Chamber meets in Belmopan this morning to consider bills and motions brought from the House of Representatives, which met last Friday.

This is the first meeting for Khalid Belisle, former Mayor of Belmopan who replaces Aldo Salazar on the Opposition side. He was congratulated by Senate President Carolyn Trench-Sandiford, who joked that after several years of working with him as Mayor, she would have to get used to his new title.

The President also made brief reports on the development of a draft Parliamentary Code of Conduct, to be distributed shortly; the development of a Parliamentary Plan of Action for the current session by the Standing Orders Committee, the House Committee and the Regulations Committee, while the Committee of Privileges meets for the first time this month, and members participated in the bipartisan caucus on hunger, malnutrition and food security.

We’ll have more to come from the capital as it happens.
