For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ The controversy at the National Institute of Culture and History continues to unravel with President Sapna Budhrani is in the hot seat. Since details began to emerge on the state of affairs at the statutory body, she had remained mum. This morning, however, backed up by the Board of Directors, Budhrani finally broke her silence, following a lengthy meeting on Tuesday. The session lasted about one hour and half. And like the Minister of Culture, Patrick Faber, board members came out in support of Budhrani, taking turns to smooth over allegations of financial irregularities and mismanagement at NICH. This, even before an external audit ordered by cabinet is completed. At today’s press conference, the officer, who undertook the internal audit and authored the telling memo, Roberto Matus, was thrown under the bus as imminently unqualified. News Five’s Isani Cayetano has a full report of today’s press conference.
