In a significant Cabinet reshuffle, Kareem Musa has transitioned from his role as Minister of Home Affairs to take charge of the Ministry of Immigration, Labor, and Governance. This move has ignited widespread speculation and debate across Belize. While some critics view this as a demotion, Musa firmly asserts that it is a promotion, emphasizing the complexity and importance of his new responsibilities. He expressed optimism about his new role, highlighting the challenges in immigration, labor, and governance, and underscored the Prime Minister’s confidence in his legal expertise to navigate these critical areas. The timing of this reshuffle has raised questions, particularly in light of the ongoing investigation into the kidnapping of Joseph Budna. Musa has categorically denied any involvement in the case, stating that the Prime Minister and the Cabinet are fully aware of his innocence. He also addressed concerns about the investigation’s progress, noting that there is substantial evidence, including video footage and officer statements, which could be revisited. This transition marks a pivotal moment in Musa’s political career, with implications for Belize’s governance and public perception.
