Elson Kaseke

A long-time resident of Belize, he served that country in a variety of capacities including as a legal draftsman and as Solicitor-General before becoming an attorney in private practice there.

In that obscure field he became quite distinguished for his skill, even attracting the attention of the CARICOM secretariat, who consulted with him on the issue of harmonisation of laws.

[3] Kaseke was named to the position of Solicitor-General in 2001, replacing Edwin Flowers who had been acting in the post since the transfer of Gian Ghandi.

[13] In 2010, he represented politician Jose Coye in an unsuccessful malicious prosecution lawsuit against businessman Alfred Schakron.

[17][18] He appeared before the Caribbean Court of Justice in the first Belizean case it heard, unsuccessfully arguing that the government of Belize should not be permitted to bring an action for misfeasance against his clients Florencio Marin and Jose Coye regarding alleged wrongful sales of government land.

[1] In 2004, while serving as SG, Kaseke and a colleague flew to Washington, DC to represent Belize at an Organization of American States conference on the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption.

En route, he had an alcohol-fueled argument with his seatmate and stood up to switch seats; as the plane was within half an hour of landing, this violated Transportation Security Administration, rules and provoked a further dispute with air crew.
