PM Barrow also indicated that he has not yet decided who will be Vega’s replacement to serve as Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry, Environment and Sustainable Development.

According to PM Barrow, Vega has not indicated if he will also resign from the House of Representatives.
Vega has served as the Area Representative of the Orange Walk North constituency since 2008, and was the Deputy Prime Minister of Belize until he was replaced recently by Hon. Patrick Faber.
