For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ A special sitting of the House of Representatives took place in Belmopan today on an issue that has been thorny and divisive. Prime Minister Dean Barrow, as Minister of Finance, presented the Appropriation Bill to pay a ninety-five million-dollar compensation award for the Universal Health Services debt. The loan ballooned to over ninety-five million dollars after being heard by different courts for several years including the Caribbean Court of Justice. The debate was long, heated and passionate at times. The result of the vote was a first since a motion presented by the PM was voted down by his majority side.
