In this Episode 120, the English voice of Colombia, Richard
McColl, takes the opportunity to share some thoughts about some
worrying situations afoot in Colombia. First, McColl discusses the
plight of US-Colombian citizen Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, the star of the
documentary "startup.com" who has been jailed in Colombia for
accusations of security fraud in the US and is awaiting extradition
to NY in the horrific conditions of Bogota´s La Picota jail.
And then secondly, McColl challenges the Mayor elect of Bogota
Enrique Peñalosa to make good on promises, explain to the people
why he will not be investing in an underground metro system which
the country´s capital is so desperately in need of, and ask him how
he plans to improve the city´s security situation.
McColl has declared that "he will eat a hat shaped cake" if
Peñalosa is able to turn the fortune of Bogota around.
