Letters to the Editor Pain in Dairy End A Leader in Sustainability

Dear Editor,

What an age we live in when will we ever be free from the threat of international litigation of the British Lord? The Lord’s companies are at it again with a notice of arbitration addressed to Prime Minister Hon. John which embroiled this government in yet another international legal battle.

This will cost hundreds, nay thousands, or even who knows a few million. The potential battle is due to the Waterloo EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) that was denied by the Department of Environmental (DOE) and then weeks later it was once again denied by NEAC.

How can we allow this to happen yet again using his British nationality and using UK-BIT Treaty to attempt to force our government into approving a project that may affect our economy by damaging our reef? We aren’t saying that the investment isn’t something needed but is it worth the cost?

So, we await with great interest to see where this new potential wrench or roadblock in Belize’s recovery efforts will land us.

God is always great!

Dear Editor,

Belize is becoming a household name in the region and around the world recognized for its stellar achievements since the Briceño administration took office this is not to say that I agree with everything this government is doing or has done.

I look at every glass empty and full, I have taken the time to understand how politics and the way our government works. Proud of this government as we can see that international image with financial institutions and new diplomatic connections, unemployment.

As of recent, the Blue was a well-crafted plan which was again hailed as a miracle, and Belize our jewel, “in this age where sustainability and green travel have become buzzwords in the world of tourism, Belize does more than just talk the talk” says Forbes Magazine.

Just last week we as a country were once again praised for Belize’s Economic performance on a regional platform at the 57th Meeting of the Network of Central Banks and Finance Ministries within Latin America and the Caribbean. Though we might now have billions we have the strength as a people that are out to change this world for a collective greater one.

I pray that our lord continues to guide this government, the opposition and us a people to keep our government on the right path.

Good Citizen
