Who Approved the Payments and Who Takes Responsibility for The Mira Millions?

A criminal complaint against a political opponent has now snowballed into a controversy that has placed Belmopan Area Representative Oscar Mira under growing public scrutiny. Earlier this month, Mira’s complaint led to the detention of UDP stalwart Alberto August, but with the DPP later ordering the case discontinued, the spotlight has shifted back to Mira. Now, leaked Smart Stream invoices linking five of his siblings to millions of dollars in payments from the Ministry of Defense have raised new questions about accountability and oversight within the ministry he helps lead. The revelations have triggered an official audit, and as the public awaits answers, one question is becoming harder to ignore: when it comes to these payments, where does the buck stop?
