Belizeans deserve to live with and enjoy good governance. The recent scandals of the Immigration Department, Sanctuary Bay, and other financial fraud and embezzlement of public funds, provide ample justification to make serious changes for good governance of the nation. The PUP respects and believes fervently in the rule of law, accountability and transparency and is committed to a government that is legitimate, effective, and delivering for all Belizeans, while building a respectful, strong, and mutually beneficial partnership with the social partners. To fulfill this commitment, the PUP will implement expeditiously these 10 thrusts upon inception of the new government.
- No one is above the law: Insist, by any means necessary, that Government lead in setting the example in complying with and conducting all its affairs by respecting the rule of law as defined in the Constitution, ancillary laws and government orders of our country. Loopholes in the law, if there are, will be eliminated the soonest. The Department of Public Prosecution will be strengthened by giving tenure to its Director and by allocating the needed resources to complement the work of the Police and increase the rate of conviction of law breakers
