NTUCB Press Release re BSI/ASR Attempt to Contravene Sugar Industry Act
NTUCB sounds the alarm that “ASR/BSI CANNOT BE TRUSTED AS THEY KEEP MOVING THE GOAL POST!” The release refers to an attempt by ASR/BSI to replace the legally established Sugar Industry Control Board with their own newly created ‘Harvesting and Delivery Control Unit’, thus changing the already concessionary terms of the previously settled agreement, both without consulting with farmers, and in contravention of the law.
The NTUCB laments that these illegal attempts at control of the industry and disenfranchisement of the farmers is compounded by the seeming complicity of the government and its political directorate.

The Diaspora and Belizeans in the home land must work hand in hand

Time to stop pointing fingers. We are leaders, lets educate the youngsters. Every year Belize gets 5000 new eligible voters. He is only as strong as his followers. And we are the ones to set the agenda. After thirty plus years of divide and conquer. When will we get it that the country’s future is dependent on us working together?
