Episode 24 - Belize's largest public hospital is charging Covid-19 patients $200 per day just for the PPEs worn by health care workers! Why hasn't the new government done anything to end sweetheart contracts being offered by outgoing administrations?

Episode 21 - The Government of Belize appears to be moving full steam ahead to legalize marijuana and establish a commercial cannabis industry. Last month the Minister responsible even introduced the media to his very own foreign cannabis consultant! So who is this "weed guy" and why is nobody asking the right questions?
