It has been over three months since community advocate Jeremy Enriquez lodged a formal letter of complaint with the Judicial and Legal Services Commission (JLSC) and the Office of the Chief Justice on April 23rd, 2025. The matter, followed by a second letter on May 22nd, remains shrouded in troubling silence.
Despite the gravity of his concerns, Enriquez reports no resolution, no outlined process, and no timeline from the authorities entrusted with upholding the integrity of the justice system.
“Although my letter of complaint was delivered to the JLSC and the office of the Chief Justice on April 23rd 2025, with a follow-up letter one month later on May 22nd, 2025, there has been no resolution of this matter to date. Neither have I been informed about the intention, timeline and process for resolving this. There has been an ongoing, disturbing, and frustrating silence. This letter is meant to reach a definitive resolution,” Enriquez stated.
This prolonged lack of response has raised pressing questions about transparency and accountability within Belize’s legal system. For citizens like Enriquez, the issue goes beyond personal grievance—it speaks to whether the nation’s judicial bodies are responsive to legitimate public concerns.
The call is now clear: the JLSC and the Chief Justice must break their silence, communicate openly, and take decisive steps to resolve this matter. Justice delayed, as the saying goes, is justice denied—and Belizeans deserve better.
