In a strange and interesting turn of events, two of the three unaccounted vehicles which should have been under the possession of the Belize City Council were returned this afternoon. What’s more interesting is that the person who managed to find where these vehicles were located was Port Loyola Area Representative, Minister Anthony ‘Boots’ Martinez.  As we reported on Monday, a special audit report conducted into the Works Department of the council revealed that a fifty-four thousand-dollar John Deer tractor, an eighty-six thousand dollars Caterpillar bulldozer and a thirty thousand dollars flatbed trailer were not delivered to the city council. The vehicles were part of the fleet of heavy-duty equipment that was granted to the council by the Government in 2015. The grant came after Minister Martinez had a meeting with the Prime Minister with respect to the acquisition of the equipment. But as we said, three of the equipment never made it to the council. In fact, the equipment was parked at a compound owned by Minister Martinez, who today denied taking possession of the equipment. News Five’s Hipolito Novelo has the story.
