What happened
Deputy Prime Minister Cordel Hyde called on government ministers to review their current allowances, arguing that leaders must also make sacrifices to match the economic pressure faced by ordinary Belizeans. The allowances in question include funds for housing, entertainment, and telephone expenses, which exceed thirty-one thousand dollars annually. Prime Minister John Briceño stated that he is open to discussing the matter.
