For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Is Sapna Budhrani qualified to be the President of NICH? That’s what most people were asking when she was swiftly elevated to president of the National Institute of Culture and History, while retaining the rank of administrator. Back in June, Minister of Culture, Patrick Faber, defended the appointment, but ever since her presidency was announced there has been harsh criticism from different sectors. The points raised included Budhrani’s seemingly lack of creative background and connection with the Belizean creative industry. Furthermore, according to sources inside NICH, Budhrani never interviewed for the job and it appeared to most that she was given the job without an assessment of her capabilities. Budhrani’s background is in finance, so her appointment was viewed as a political favour. Today, we asked Music Ambassador Shyne Barrow if he has heard the public’s criticisms. He had a mouthful to say.
