In a quiet ceremony accompanied by members of his family, some Cabinet colleagues and other party faithful, friends and supporters, Prime Minister John Briceño took the Oath of Office before Governor General H.E. Froyla Tzalam at Government House in Belize City on Thursday afternoon, March 13.
With Special Envoy Mrs. Rossana Briceño holding the Bible on which he placed his right hand, he pledged allegiance to Belize and to uphold the Constitution and the Laws of Belize. He also promised to conscientiously and impartially discharge his duties as prime minister, to the best of his ability, and to do right to all manner of people without fear or favour, affection or ill will. He then signed this contract with the Belizean people, on a document witnessed by the Governor General.
