CITIZEN SECURITY & HURRICANE RELIEF HELPS BELIZE

On November 15, 2022, Hon. John Briceño, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and In vestment, handed over vehicles to the Be lize Police Department (BPD) and comput er equipment to the Belize Defence Force (BDF). The items were procured under the Belize Integral Security Programme (BISP), a BZ$60-million-dollar project funded by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), which is intended to strengthen the capacity of the BPD and BDF thereby enabling officers to provide increased security for citizens.

Commissioner of Police Mr. Chester Williams received the three 2023 Toyota Hilux Pickup Trucks on behalf of the BPD. These vehicles will be utilized as patrol vehi cles and are a part of a fleet of six vehicles valued at BZ$491,474.70. The BDF received computers and other office equipment val

ued at BZ$315,328.16. Hon. Florencio Marin, Jr., Minister of National Defence and Border Security, received the donation on behalf of the BDF. These items form part of the BPD’s total allocation of BZ$18,439,674.70 and the BDF’s total allocation of BZ$13,000,000.00 under the BISP.

In addition to the equipment, both or ganizations will benefit from investments in much-needed infrastructure in the Belize, Cayo, Corozal and Toledo districts, with the first commencing at the Price Barracks in La dyville. A team led by Ms. Kerstin Moralez, Project Executive at CABEI, arrived in Belize yesterday to conduct a verification site visit at the barracks which forms part of the facilita tion process to fast-track the construction of a kitchen and dormitories as a result of the de struction caused by Hurricane Lisa on Novem ber 2. Both infrastructural activities were al ready programmed under the BISP; however,

Moody's upgrades from Caa3 ratings to Caa2

New York, November 16, 2022 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has today upgraded the long-term local and foreign currency issuer ratings of the Government of Belize ("Belize") to Caa2 from Caa3 and maintained the stable outlook.

The upgrade reflects the reduction in the debt/GDP ratio following the buyback of the "superbond" in November 2021, and Moody's expectation of a further reduction sup ported by a balanced primary budget going forward. Under the terms of a loan incurred to buy back the "superbond", debt affordability benefits from lower interest payments until 2026 as compared with scheduled interest payments before the restructuring, thereby supporting Belize's fiscal strength assessment.

Although the reduction in the debt/GDP ratio benefits from a statistical nominal GDP rebasing effect that broadens the economic base the rebasing also highlights the

given the recent hurricane, it is imperative that construction commences as early as possible.

Prime Minister Briceño was joined by Hon. Christopher Coye, Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance, Economic Develop ment and Investment; Ms. Narda Garcia, CEO in the Office of the Prime Minister and Minis try of Investment; Dr. Osmond Martinez, CEO in the Ministry of Economic Development; Retired Brigadier General Dario Tapia, CEO in the Ministry of National Defence and Bor der Security; Brigadier General Azariel Loria, Commander of the BDF; Mr. Elvis Requena, Project Coordinator for the BISP.

This is just another example of dormant financing that the Barrow/Faber incompe tent and corrupt administration could not get off the ground. To give credit, this BISP was signed years ago. The Barrow incompetence and nonfeasance reached to tragic levels where they paid interest on money they nev er accessed. This is factual guilt to add to the legal guilt on spending 1.3plus billion dollars of the people’s money without permission to do so. Yes, PM Barrow was pronounced guilty of such crime by the Chief Justice of the Su preme Court. Barrow scoffed at the ruling… the people castigated the UDP by essentially sending his Party into extinction.

• Cabinet gave its approval for the introduction of legislation to es tablish a Belize country office for the Central American Bank for Economic Development (CABEI).

• Cabinet gave its approval for the Ministry of National Defence and Border Security to conduct necessary repairs and improvements to the Forward Operating Base facility at the mouth of the Sars toon River, for the Air Wing of the Belize Defence Force and for much-needed repairs to Price Barracks.

• Finally, Cabinet wishes all Belizeans a safe and happy Garifuna Settlement Day!

Bun, Amürü Nu Hagabüribei Garinagu; Awanserameme Wamá Lau” I for you, You for me is the Garifuna Way: Let us Continue to Move For ward.

• Through the donation, the authori ties will be able to purchase medical supplies and basic goods to support the people affect ed by the natural phenomenon.

Tegucigalpa, November 15th, 2022.- The Central American Bank for Economic Inte gration (CABEI) granted the Government of Belize emergency and natural disaster assis tance of up to US$1 million to address the damage caused by Hurricane Lisa.

The funds may be used for the purchase of food, medicines, specialized medical care, materials required for shelters and recovery or repair of infrastructure, among other nec essary equipment and supplies that contrib ute to disaster relief and response capabil ities.

"As a gesture of solidarity with this na tion, the CABEI Board of Directors granted this non-reimbursable financial cooperation in order to collaborate with Belize's efforts in response to the damage caused by the in tensity of the phenomenon that affected the country," said Executive President Dr. Dante Mossi.

The Prime Minister of Belize John Briceño, representing CABEI, the executive Kerstin Morales and authorities of the Beliz ean government participated in the signing event.

Since 2006, CABEI has supported vari ous actions in favor of the economic and so cial development of its non-founding region al partner. In the 2020-2021 period, CABEI granted three emergency grants for US$2.0 million to address the emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the damage caused by Hurricane Eta.

government's inability before the restruc turing to service a lower than initially as sumed debt/GDP burden, underscoring Belize's continued weak debt tolerance.

The stable outlook indicates that up side and downside risks are balanced. Upside risks relate to the prospect of fis cal and economic reform implementation outlined by the government that strength ens economic resiliency and reduces the risk of re-default in the future. Downside risks stem from the economy's limited external shock absorption capacity with repercussions on the government's ac cess to external liquidity for external debt service payments.

Concurrently, Belize's local cur rency (LC) ceiling has been raised to B3 from Caa1, reflecting persistent ex ternal imbalances and moderate predict ability and reliability of institutions and government actions. Similarly, the foreign currency (FC) ceiling has been raised to Caa1 from Caa2 reflecting moderate ex ternal indebtedness, a weak track record of policy effectiveness and potential cap ital account restrictions to safeguard the currency peg to the US dollar in times of stress.

LAND OF THE FREE

The People’s Constitution Commission was launched on Monday 14th November 2022. This is only the second time that Belize has performed such an exercise in the forty-two years of its sovereignty. That first one was also done under a PUP government, this second modernization is part of the commitments made in Plan Belize by the Briceño administration to the Belizean people. It seeks to revamp the legislature to bring it in line with the expectations and needs of the Belizean people. The Belizean Constitution is a living document which must be periodically revised to ensure that it is current and is relevant to the needs of the citizenry. Many outdated laws are no longer relevant to modern Belizean society and must be brought up to date. The last vestiges of colonization exist in our Constitution and the Laws that govern us and it is only by purging regularly that we will finally rid ourselves of it, altogether. Belize must chart its own course and move forward of its own volition just as it has with great success after the pandemic. Just as Belize and Belizeans fiscally rebounded by the use of the Home-Grown Method, so it must now modernize its Constitution by self-examination, and introspection and decide for itself what is relevant and what no longer is. The most exciting part of this process is that current technology now gives the public a greater opportunity to participate and be heard. The Commission which was sworn is a very representative cross-section of Belizean society, but they are not the only ones who will be able to contribute to the final document. Therefore, the final submissions will be able to paint a clearer picture of the needs of the people and tell the legislators more clearly how they want to be governed.

Gone are the days of the old colonial mentality or the Cacique way of maintaining power and control over the people. Young people especially are critical thinkers; the power of information is now instantly at their fingertips. There are many archaic laws that persist on the books and others that do not exist. Belizeans want to see laws that regulate election activities and campaign funding. They also want to see an elected senate and other reforms that deal with curtailing corruption. This is a real oppor tunity, and we must recognize that we are fortunate to live in a country that offers us this incredible opportunity. This is indeed the only way to expand our democracy and to see those laws we want to be enacted. This is a major way to indeed have a Belize that works for all of us, and where all of us can work and live in peace, harmony, and unity. The Briceño administration actually encourages everyone to participate and contribute to the democracy of this our country. We cannot miss the opportunity we have to guarantee that this will indeed remain… “Land of the Free.”

TIERRA DE LA LIBERTAD

El lunes 14 de noviembre de 2022 se puso en marcha la Comisión de la Constitución del Pueblo. Esta es sólo la segunda vez que Belice realiza un ejercicio de este tipo en los cuarenta y dos años de su soberanía. Esa primera también se hizo bajo un gobierno del PUP, esta segunda modernización es parte de los compromisos adquiridos en el Plan Belice por la administración Briceño con el pueblo beliceño. Busca renovar la legislatura para adecuarla a las expectativas y necesidades del pueblo beliceño. La Constitución de Belice es un documento vivo que debe ser re visado periódicamente para asegurar que está al día y es relevante para las necesidades de la ciudadanía. Muchas leyes obsoletas ya no son relevantes para la sociedad beliceña moderna y deben ser actualizadas. Los últimos vestigios de la colonización existen en nuestra Constitución y en las leyes que nos rigen y sólo depurando regularmente nos libraremos finalmente de ella por completo. Belice debe trazar su propio rumbo y avanzar por su propia voluntad, tal y como ha hecho con gran éxito tras la pandemia. Al igual como Belice y los beliceños se recuperaron fiscalmente mediante el uso de métodos autóctonos, ahora debe mod ernizar su Constitución mediante el autoexamen y la introspección y decidir por sí mismo lo que es relevante y lo que ya no lo es. Lo más emocionante de este proceso es que la tecnología actual ofrece ahora al público una mayor oportunidad de partic ipar y ser escuchado. La Comisión que ha jurado es una muestra muy representativa de la sociedad beliceña, pero no son los únicos que podrán contribuir al documento final. Por lo tanto, las presentaciones finales podrán pintar un cuadro más claro de las necesidades del pueblo y decir a los legisladores más claramente cómo quieren ser gobernados.

Se acabaron los días de la vieja mentalidad colonial o la forma caciquil de mantener el poder y el control sobre el pueblo. Los jóvenes, especialmente, son pensadores críticos, el poder de la información está ahora al alcance de su mano. Hay muchas leyes arcai cas que persisten en los libros y otras que no existen. Los beliceños quieren que haya leyes que regulen las actividades electorales y la financiación de las campañas. También quieren ver un senado elegido y otras reformas que aborden la reducción de la corrup ción. Esta es una oportunidad real, y debemos reconocer que somos afortunados de vivir en un país que nos ofrece esta increíble oportunidad. Esta es, en efecto, la única manera de ampliar nuestra democracia y de ver promulgadas las leyes que queremos. Esta es una forma importante de tener, de hecho, un Belice que funcione para todos nosotros, y donde todos podamos trabajar y vivir en paz, armonía y unidad. De hecho, el gobierno de Briceño anima a todos a participar y contribuir a la democracia de este nuestro país. No podemos desaprovechar la oportunidad que tenemos de garantizar que ésta siga siendo, efectivamente, la “Tierra de la Libertad".

to 82.3% of GDP in 2021 from 104.5% in 2020 following the buyback of the $556 million "superbond" at 55 cents on the dollar in November 2021. Under the terms of the $364 million Blue Bond incurred to buy back the "superbond", debt affordability benefits from lower interest payments as a share of revenue and a significant maturity extension that supports Belize's fiscal strength assessment. Looking forward, Moody's expects the debt/ GDP ratio to decline further and converge toward 72% of GDP in 2023 supported by the maintenance of balanced primary accounts, while in terest/revenue remains below 10% over the next three years. Belize's credit profile also benefits from a currency peg, which has remained stable even when the country has experienced acute external liquidity pressures, an el ement that reduces risks to the government's balance sheet derived from exchange rate shocks.

The reduction in the debt/GDP ratio benefited from a statistical nominal GDP rebasing effect undertaken in 2022 which raised GDP by around 2535%, but it also highlighted the sovereign's inability to service debt even though the ratio to GDP was lower than assumed before the rebasing, un derscoring Belize's weak debt tolerance.

Normalization of Tourism Flows Supports Economic Activity and Strengthens Foreign Exchange Reserve Buffer

After a sharp contraction of 13.7% in 2020, Belize's real GDP level expanded by 16.3% in 2021, boosting Belize's real GDP back to pre-pan demic levels at the end of 2021, with a further solid expansion at 5.9% expected for 2022 before a gradual convergence towards a relatively low trend growth at about 2%. The economic recovery was mainly driven by a strong rebound in the crucial tourism industry which accounts for almost 40% of economic activity when taking indirect effects into account. As of September 2022, tourist arrivals have recovered to 76% of arrivals in Sep tember 2019. Looking forward, Moody's expects growth to benefit from previously delayed investment projects in the tourism industry, including the implementation of several cruise port projects in full compliance with Belize's nature conservancy commitments assumed under the Blue Bond debt restructuring.

On the external side, liquid FX reserves rose to $416 million in August 2022, or about four months of import cover, from a low of $222 million in March 2020, despite the widening trade deficit on the back of higher food and energy imports. Very strong services exports at an annualized $795 million at the end of June 2022 as compared to $676 million in March 2020 before the outbreak of the pandemic mitigate the trade balance impact on the current account which Moody's expects to remain relatively large with in the 6-7% of GDP range. Looking forward, Moody's expects FX reserves to converge toward the $300-$350 million range which is below current levels, but sufficient to cover about three months of imports and meet external debt service payments.

Belize is one of the world’s most culturally diverse coun tries, comprised of Creoles, Mayans, and Mennonites. Tour ism is the primary economic driver, with people coming to snorkel in its clear ocean wa ters and enjoy its unblemished coral reefs. They also want to see the world’s largest popula tion of jaguars and 800 species of birds. Agriculture is a money maker too, with the country selling bananas, citrus fruits, and sugar to world markets.

Its 450,000 people live on 22,000 square kilometers, made up of 60% tropical rainforests — the lifeblood of its indigenous population. Most of that is undisturbed land. Importantly, it is attracting the attention of corporations and national governments — those who want to invest in nature-based solutions to address climate change. Belize will sell 5.6 million tons of carbon credits by year-end.

Indeed, the latest data emerging from the world’s most prominent scien tists show that forests are vital in mit igating the effects of warming. If the global community is committed to the Paris climate agreement, it must com pensate the rainforest nations for pre serving their trees and limiting timbering and farming.

“We will sell our credits based on

quality and credibility. We have rich tropical rainforests, which supply water and feed hundreds of species of birds, plants, and jaguars,” says Orlando Habet, Belize’s min ister for sustainable development. “Belize has maintained its environmental integrity for years.” We spoke at COP27 in Sharm elSheikh, Egypt.

The “sovereign credits” are worth be tween $50 million and $100 million to Belize — money distributed to local communities and to protect the rainforests. The govern ment will sell the sovereign credits — gen erated under the REDD+ mechanism, which has been approved by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change because the forests are measured and mon itored. Credits are issued based on the rate that countries are slowing deforestation.

Prime Minister’s Garifuna Settlement Day Message

Each year we celebrate Garifuna Settlement Day as one people. As diverse as our Belizean culture is, what unites us is that we are one nation and people. What is special, though, is our ability to use occasions like these to celebrate this diversity.

Today we are all shareholders of this amazing Garifuna culture. So we celebrate together, we dance and we eat together, in short, we are all appreciating, sharing, and living Garifuna Duou.

In communities from north to south, east to west Belizeans are a part of the national ceremonies that celebrate the life and contributions of Garifuna Belizeans to our national development. In every community, the drums are rolling, the Hudut is bubbling and the black, white, and yellow banner that inspires every Garifuna is waving proudly and it is an inspiration to us all.

Yet, even as we take great pride in it all, and even as we express our sincere thanks to the National Garifuna Council, as well as those local committees across the nation for all the wonderful activities, we must take seriously the challenge placed before us today. We have to preserve this culture by ensuring that our Garifuna Children speak the language.

As I have said before, to our Garifuna mothers, sing to your babies in Garifuna, so that from early they can hear Garifuna words and be uplifted by the very sound of this colourful language. Teach your children Garifuna history, because Garifuna history is Belizean history. And even as we celebrate, let us remember our Garifuna ancestors who lived and died to promote this culture and build Belize. Finally, never forget: “I for you, you for me is the Garifuna Way: Let us Continue to Move Forward.”

And to Belizeans from the four corners of our Beautiful Belize and to friends and visitors alike: Happy Garifuna Settlement Day Seremein

Prime Minister John Briceño Remarks at the Launch

People’s Constitution Commission

Belmopan, 14th November 2022

I am glad to be here with you at this important event. The launch of the People’s Constitution Commission is important for several reasons, including the fact that when we were out on the campaign trail, we promised to be a government that was transparent and responsive. In our good governance agenda, we said we wanted to be a government that was responsive to the challenges of our generation and to do what we needed—meaningful reforms that would once again put people first.

We are here, in part, to do exactly that. Today, we embark on a journey that when successful will ensure more government by the people and a government for the people. Our constitution says in its preamble that the will of the people shall form the basis of government in a democratic society. It goes on to say that all persons may, to the extent of their capacity, play some part in the institutions of national life. For our part this Constitution Commis sion is intended to make good on this promise enshrined in our Constitution. It is our sincere desire to have the people determine the kind of government they want, not something they inherited, but a system that at its core is progressive, inclusive, and 100 percent Belizean.

This is why when we took office two years ago, we created a ministry responsible for Constitution and Political Affairs with a mandate to ensure good governance. It is the Good Governance unit within the Ministry of the Pub lic Service, Constitution and Political Affairs that is now organizing this process of consultation. It is this process that must listen to the people to ensure that the reforms adopted will be inclusive and will put people at the center of national life. They along with the Chairman and members of the Commission must be guided by our determina tion that our Constitution remains the country’s most fundamental legal instrument, that it establishes the rights, processes and institutions that guide how the country functions and how power and resources should be shared.

As a young, developing nation, constitutional reform is one of the key drivers and builders of the principles of Good Governance. One of the first policy initiatives issued when we were in opposition was our Good Governance Agenda. In Plan Belize, we further developed our plan to deliver good governance because we believe this is what is needed, if we are to have a more accountable, relevant, and transpar ent government. We sincerely believe that to be an effective, efficient, and inclusive administration, we need everyone to work together. This is why we are hoping, and I am challenging the members of the Commis sion, to ensure that this process provides an opportunity for the greatest possible public participation. We want these deliberations to reaffirm as a nation our respect for the rule of law and when this part of the process is concluded my administration will demonstrate our commitment to our promise to be a responsive government.

About 10 weeks ago, we celebrated our 41st Anniversary of Inde pendence. For the past four decades our Constitution has served to se cure our democracy, our respect fundamental rights and freedoms and, through five successive administrations, we have maintained our sover eignty and territorial integrity. These are milestones that must not only be acknowledged but celebrated! Yes, over this same period, we have tinkered around the edges of our present Constitution making minor amendments. We believe, however, that as we mature into a modern nation, now is the time for this generation of Belizeans to take a com prehensive look at our Constitution. We believe it is time for a holistic review of our supreme law. Now is the time to affirm and refine our commitment to democracy, to the rule of law, and most importantly, to strengthen the Fundamental Rights and Freedoms of every Belizean. This process, we will insist, must be guided by our fidelity to social, eco nomic, and environmental justice, and as I said, it must be 100 percent Belizean.

I began these remarks by saying that this was an important event, but the truth is it is more than that, this is a historic event, for it marks the start of a process that will lead to a Belizean Constitution that will reaffirm what we hold dear to us, our democracy, and our desire to build a Belize that works for everyone.

Let us then advance this process by including everyone and together let us decide what kind of nation we want to build for ourselves and the next generation.

I thank you.

Belize National Prayer

Almighty and Eternal God, who through Jesus Christ has revealed Your Glory to all nations, please pro tect and preserve Belize, our beloved country.

With Your guidance, may all our endeavours tend to peace, social jus tice, liberty, national happiness, the increase of industry, sobriety and use ful knowledge.

We pray, O God of Mercy, for all of us that we may be blessed in the knowledge and sanctified in the observance of Your most holy law, that we may be preserved in union and, in that peace which the world itself cannot give.

And, after enjoying the blessings of this life, please admit us, dear Lord, to that eternal reward that You have prepared for those who love You. Amen.

at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, told this writer that CO2 levels rose by 1% last year — mostly a function of the rebounding economy. But the challenge is ensuring that we meet the goals set by the Paris climate agreement, which limits temperature rises to 1.5 degrees Celsius CEL +2.9% by mid-century compared to pre-industrial levels. Broadly, carbon emissions have risen from 10 billion tons in 1960 to 36 billion tons a year now — a number that must fall sharply to avoid climate catastrophe and maintain economic health.

The temperature rises are now close to 1.2 degrees. If we do nothing to mitigate emissions, it will take less than a decade to hit the 1.5-degree mark, leading to more extreme weather: record warming, massive floods, and melting glaciers. “The larger the warming, the larger the impacts. It is happening already, and it will get more expensive,” says Friedlingstein, lead author of the Global Carbon Budget report.

Therein is the value of trees and oceans. The ecosystem stores carbon. According to Professor Friedlingstein, for every ton of CO2 emitted, half stays in the atmosphere while the other half is stored in forests or oceans. As oil dependence persists, forest-based solutions increase in value. The goal is, therefore, to manage the land and stop deforestation.

To that end, forests are carbon sinks, absorbing 7.6 billion metric tons annually. But we must cut carbon emis sions by 500 billion tons by 2050, according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. As for Belize, it will use the carbon credit revenues for conservation, restoration, and climate adaptation — or to adjust to economic and social changes caused by warming. The proceeds will get shared with the traditional environmental stewards and for national development, says Minister Habet.

Moreover, Belize has negotiated a “blue bond.” Here, the Nature Conservancy and Credit Suisse developed this financial instrument. The Nature Conservancy has agreed to buy the nation’s sovereign debt if Belize protects at least 30% of its marine areas. Belize vows to save more than 75%.

The financial vehicle has potential because the world’s oceans are also warming, which is killing the coral reefs and causing an ugly seaweed known as “sargassum” to fester and pollute the beaches in South America and the Caribbean. Belize’s debt is complicated but the $364 million deal could preserve marine life in the country, home to the largest living barrier reef in the world.

The carbon credits are linked to forest preservation: countries or companies that cannot meet their emissions reduction targets by using more renewable energy and energy efficiency can buy credits from rainforest nations that can do so. Many countries and companies are interested in seeing Belize thrive — from the United States, Europe, and China, which consume its agricultural products, to the American Sugar Refinery and Fyffes, which buys its bananas.

“Our rainforests are a special asset, and we have the largest living coral reef in the world,” says Minister Ha bet. “We have dutifully managed our conservation and have earned the right to sell carbon credits. It’s time we monetize that.”

The world’s eyes will be on Belize — to admire its coral reefs, rainforests, and natural wildlife while ensuring its carbon sales are transparent and benefit the local communities. Nature now has value for the services it pro vides. A successful sale helps Belize and the climate cause, perhaps becoming an example for other countries.

THE BELIZE TIMES

KHMH UNION PRESIDENT EXPOSED UDP GUNSLINGER

It is becoming apparent that Andrew Baird is on an open attack with the intent of giving life-support to the now mostly extinct UDP. There are allegations that like some of the sabre rattlers, Baird has become a political aspirant for the UDP maybe for Belize Rural.

A recent correspondence from the Ministry of Health and Wellness by the Honorable Kevin Bernard laid-bare the lies and deception from this politically compromised President of the KHMH Workers Union. Responding to a Baird questionable email, the Minister exposed Baird’s cry that the "sky was falling", that the Healthcare system was on the verge of collapse as a fraudulent line of attack on Honorable Kevin Bernard and the Government of Belize to stage a political battle against the mandate driven planBelize PUP—an order that is way out of Baird’s league.

Firstly, the email sent by Baird was rendered unofficial and did not have the backative of some of the medical proponents named, the Executive Members of the KHMHWU, the BMDA and NAB. The nurses claim that they did not have even an inkling of the email. The 7-styled fake news "extreme shortage" of phar maceuticals mentioned by Baird proved to be furthest from the truth as many of the core list was in country. The "leaky roof " had existed under the incompetent electrician Pablo Marin playing a health Minister.

Similarly, to an economy over the financial cliff the Healthcare system of Belize was on life support. The Blue Tsunami rescued this vital industry. Pablo cemented control over "big pharm" by making his family member the drug czar. However, as the UDP maladminstration destroyed the Jewel's Healthcare sys tem Baird et al lurked in silence.

The Minister of Health and Wellness Honorable Kevin Bernard understands the existing inefficiencies and deficiencies at the KHMH. Bernard has given as surance that fixing the UDP disaster will take some time but it will be fixed. Min ister Bernard insisted that the Health Sector Strategic Plan 2014-2024 is being followed to meet its objectives which includes achieving universal health cover age, promoting integrated health service delivery, improving infrastructure and upgrading the health facilities.

Had UDP gunslinger Baird attended the meeting scheduled for Monday with Honorable Kevin Bernard the lies and deceit would have been defrocked expos ing the red veil.

The Minister is met with the Nurses association getting positive results on how to move forward.

The PCC’s Monumental Launch

On November 14th, at 3:00 pm, the People’s Constitution Commission and its Secretariat were launched on the steps of the National Assembly. This monumental occasion marks the beginning of the Commission’s task of reviewing and re-writing the Belize Constitution to not only sever the colo nial ties that have been bestowed upon us in our current Constitution but also to make the government more open, transparent, inclusive, and efficient in serving the Belizean people. The PCC will start the overwhelming task of conducting a national intensive con sultation campaign while also promoting an extensive public education process with the Belizean people here in Belize and the diaspora.

As we acknowledge the historical importance of this Monday’s launch ing let us also recognize that this transcendental task is not only the work of the People’s Constitution Commission but also the work of every one of us. Every Belizean that breathes and lives the Belizean Spirit and ev ery Belizean living in Belize or any other space in the world, needs to be challenged to step forward. They need to think hard and boldly about their recommendations as to what can be done and what should be changed to make it our Constitution. Changes that are more inclusive of every group/ community of Belizeans, more defending of the integrity and dignity of every individual, sector and/or minority. Hon. Henry Charles Usher said at the launch, “The mandate can only come from the people, and the peo ple must be the center of the process”. Let us, as Belizeans, speak out, loudly, to ensure we are protective of our environment, our most vulnera ble among us, our human rights, our democratic rights, and our ability to make the most of our lives. Let us ensure that both our public and private sectors, our health, educational and social sectors are so structured to al low every Belizean the opportunity to be all that we can be and that when we rise we all rise.

Belizeans should meet, greet and celebrate with the People’s Consti tution Commission, but also work with the Commission to guarantee that all voices are heard and every sector of our Belizean community acquires ownership of our New Belizean Constitution and that we all see ourselves in it.

Peoples’ Constitution Commission Launch at Independence Hill

Excerpts of Remarks by Hon. Henry

C. Usher

November 14, 2022

Re-writing the supreme law of the land is no task that should be undertak en lightly. It can only be done at the right time and under the right circumstances. The mandate can only come from the peo ple, and the people must be at the center of the process. Today, we believe, as a Government, that the time for a People’s Constitution has come.

• In this, our 42nd year of Indepen dence, the Belizean people are taking a hard look at the systems and structures of governance, thinking about new ways to solve problems, graduating from repre sentative government to participatory government. They want to accelerate and hopefully complete the process of decolonization. They want to own their Independence.

• There have been several amendments to the Constitution, incremental reform expanding rights or curtailing government abuse. But as a people, we have been limited in our efforts to expand substantive freedoms and create the conditions for genuine and sustainable development. We have been trapped in a colonial matrix with artificial comforts and familiarity.

• Even today in the age of information, the entrapment continues. Pope Francis refers to this phenomenon as ‘ideological colonialism”, the suppression of local culture and values and the imposition of foreign world views and value systems. Of course, just like in the imperial era, the carrot and stick doctrine is applied. Those countries who fall in line receive development aid. Those who don’t end up on nefarious lists.

• Should we as a sovereign independent nation continue to be told what to think or how to govern ourselves, or should we advocate for the ability to make decisions that we believe are in the best interests of Belize? Will we finally appreciate that sovereignty does not reside on an island (that is) thou sands of miles away, but rather is firmly entrenched in the Belizean people?

• The drumbeat for reform was loudest in the run-up to the 1998 general elec tion. The People’s Assemblies created a national energy that not only pro pelled the People’s United Party to victory, but also made it mandatory that priority be given to reform. The people were demanding it. The ideas were free-flowing. Citizen participation was diverse and widespread.

• The results were outstanding. A report with over a 100 recommendations was prepared, a third of which were implemented immediately, another third of the recommendations saw some degree of implementation in the subse quent years. There was hope that this revolution of reform would continue, and the quality of the Belizean democracy would make good on delivering the basic rights and freedoms that constitutions are meant to enshrine.

• Then came the 2008 general election, and the music stopped. Despite pres sure for reform in a number of areas, elected Senate, independent judiciary, curtailing the power of Cabinet, campaign finance and many others, there was no movement by the previous administration. Priority was placed elsewhere.

• The People’s United Party formed the Government of Belize on the 11th of November 2020, two years ago last Friday. In the Plan Belize manifesto, we made the commitment “to forge a cultural and decolonization project in our sovereign and independent nation state of Belize.” We committed to making government more accountable to the people by reforming the over sight structures and reviewing the Constitution to ensure that it meets the needs and aspirations of the Belizean people.

• We focused on two areas immediately, the establishment of the Secretariat for the Commission, the Good Governance Unit, and the development of sup porting legislation. The Act is clear that the constitutional consultations are to be carried out in accordance with “the principle that it is the fully informed and consulted people who will define the shape and content of the Peo ple’s Constitution.”

• No, it must not be Cabinet or Parliament or even the Chairman or members of the Commission, but rather the people. Recently, there have been numer ous requests from different organizations to be part of the Commission. And while the Act allows for additions to be made, what is more important for the Commission members is for their feet to be on the ground rather than around the table. Every group, every Belizean must be given an opportunity for their voice to be heard. Equally important is that a thorough education campaign is undertaken and the people be given all the relevant information and allowed every chance to question and comment.

• The People’s Constitution Commission has become a beacon to our Caribbe an brothers and sisters and other nations who are anxious to see how this process will work in Belize and, in fact, are cheering for its success. In fact, many of them have expressed to us their surprise that even though there is a super majority in Parliament, the legislation requires that the final package must be approved by the people in a referendum. But it just shows the val ue this administration places on making the People’s Constitution not just a catchy slogan, but rather providing a real chance for the Belizean people to make the Constitution theirs.

Hon. Jose Mai, Minister of Agricul ture, Food Security and Enterprise, has revoked the Order of Areas Infected with Avian Influenza (H5) Disease, 2022 upon the recommendations of the Be lize Agricultural Health Authority (BAHA) and the Avian Influenza Task Force set up by Minister Mai.

An infected area was declared by Order on September 15, 2022, upon suspicion of low pathogenic Avian In fluenza, and after samples taken from a farm in the Blue Creek community in the Orange Walk District were sent to an accredited laboratory abroad and tested positive for Avian Influenza in a screen ing serological test. A few days later, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests on the same sample and at the same laboratory indicated that the Avian Influ enza detected was of the H5 type.

Following the declaration of the in

fected area, the Avian Influenza Task Force was activated, an active surveillance pro gramme was implemented, and BAHA immediately engaged stakeholders on prevention, control and eradication mea sures. Eighty-six (86) farms in the Blue Creek and Shipyard communities were sampled, and 8 farms had weak positive tests for antibodies in the screening sero logical tests conducted by BAHA.

These results triggered the activa tion of the Avian Influenza Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan, and actions were taken to further investigate the suspected low pathogenic Avian In fluenza disease outbreak. Both BAHA and the private sector agreed to put into effect preventative measures for disease containment, in the event that the Nation al Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) of the USA, a World Organisation for Ani mal Health (WOAH) Reference Laboratory

confirmed that the disease was present.

Further testing of a total of 141 flocks, in the declared infected area, yielded neg ative results. The National Veterinary Ser vices Laboratory (NVSL) conducted ad vanced serological and molecular tests on the eight farms that had tested positive on the screening serological tests. All results were negative.

The results from the WOAH Refer ence Laboratory, received on November 4, 2022, confirmed that Belize remains free of Avian Influenza.

Hon. Jose Mai extends his deepest appreciation to:

• BAHA for their quick response and implementation of measures for dis ease prevention, control and eradication;

• the Belize Poultry Association, es pecially the poultry industry in Blue Creek and Shipyard, for their support in disease investigation and measures applied; and

• the Avian Influenza Task Force 2022 for their diligent response to ad dress the suspected Avian Influenza dis ease.

Belize last reported Avian Influenza in 2015 - Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N2). Since then, there have not been any confirmed cases of Avian Influenza in Belize. Belize continues to be free of Avian Influenza.

remarks on “Debt Swaps for Climate and Nature” during a high-level session hosted by the International Institute for Environment and Development on November 7, 2022, at the 27th Session of the Con ference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

Minister Coye recounted the economic, social and personal loss es associated with hurricanes Julia and Lisa, which have contributed to the average annual losses of 4% of GDP that have become the norm for Belize. He used the phrase, “one step forward, two steps back” as a fitting characterization of Belize’s experience with climate change.

Minister Coye stated that “debt swaps, if favourably concluded, can constitute that giant step forward in the right direction, both for conservation and the economy.” He described Belize’s debt swap transaction as a success story of what is possible when developed country institutions support vulnerable state-led initiatives through facilitating the access of capital at scale and in a timely manner.

COP27 is taking place from November 6 to 18, 2022. Over the next two weeks, Belize’s delegation will attend high-level meetings and interact with international institutions, funding agencies and partners to share Belize’s experience in the face of the climate crisis and to learn about opportunities to leverage resources that will help further the country’s climate change agenda.

and Investment, virtually delivered

November 10th, 2022 - The E-Gover nance and Digitalization Unit under the Min istry of Public Utilities, Energy, Logistics, and E-Governance, celebrates, alongside its partners in development, Belize’s recent increase in its rating within the United Na tions 2022 E-Government Development Index (EGDI) survey.

In 2020, Belize was ranked 136 out of 193 countries, demonstrating slow prog ress and initially placing the nation within the Middle EGDI group of countries. As of 2022, through the advancement of Belize’s National Digital Agenda and sector initia tives, Belize’s position has now improved to a ranking of 133 out of 193 countries, being one of only three countries within the Amer icas region to advance due to significant progress in E- Governance implementation. Belize’s increased ranking firmly establish es the country’s new placement within the High EGDI group for the first time in history, now sitting alongside countries like Mexico, South Africa, and Egypt.

The United Nations E-Government De velopment Index assesses and ranks coun tries at the national level against three main factors. These factors include Telecommuni cations Infrastructure, Human Capital, and Online services. Belize’s ranking improved due to national progress in delivering online services and other key achievements relat ing to:

• The launch of Belize's first National Digital Agenda and Action Plan in 2021 sup ported by the Inter-American Development Bank Group.

• The execution of sector transfor mation projects and technology adoption such as: o The Strengthening of Tax Admin istration Project led by the Belize Tax Ser vice o The Belize Electronic Licenses and Permits System (BELAPS) led by the Supplies Control Unit and the E-Gover nance and Digitalization Unit

o The Department of Environment Online Permitting Application led by the Department of the Environment and the E-Governance and Digitalization Unit

o The Temporary Employment Per mit Application led by the Ministry of Rural Transformation, Community Development, Labor, and Local Government.

• The successful enactment of six (6) E-Governance-related legislations, mak

ing Belize a pioneer in digital law in CAR ICOM: (i) Digital Government Act, (ii) Data Protection Act, (iii) Public Sector Data Shar ing Act, (iv) Electronic Transaction Act, (v) Electronic Funds Transfer Crime Act, and (vi) Electronic Evidence Act. The Com pete Caribbean Partnership Facility, the Economic Development Council, and the United Nations Development Programme supported the development of these legis lations.

• The launch of online payment for government services using mobile wallets (Temporary Employment Permit Pilot) in partnership with the Ministry of Rural Trans formation, Community Development, La bor, and Local Government.

• In partnership with the Attor ney General’s Ministry, the launch of the Strengthening Civil Registry Programme to support the modernization of the Vital Sta tistics Unit.

• The initiation of the National Digital Inclusion Program which seeks to provide Digital Access and Digital Training to citi zens. This program is supported by the Unit ed Nations Development Programme Belize and ICDF-Taiwan.

• The launch of the National Identifi cation Project to design and pilot a National Identification Management Strategy. This is set to be a strategic accelerated action plan that will guide the development of Belize's National ID system and pilot a digital ID for online services by 2025.

• Development of an online Govern ment Integrated Cashiering System.

• Modification and upgrade to the Office of the Supervisor of Insurance online application.

These efforts are supported by our part ner ministries and development partners such as the Inter-American Development Bank Group, the United Nations Develop ment Programme, and ICDF-Taiwan.

Beyond Belize’s progress in E-Gover nance projects and programs, the country is recognized as only one out of four countries in the Americas to have a female in E- Gov ernance leadership. Today, women account for only 11.01% of E-Government leaders globally. Belize’s achievements reinforce not only our dedication to creating public value but also our commitment to do so inclusive ly.

PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF FUSARIUM TROPICAL RACE

today signed the Belize Cooperation Agreement for the execution of the "Regional Project for the Prevention and Control of Fusarium Tropical Race 4 of Banana in Central America". The event took place at the Taiwan Technical Mission headquarters at Central Farm, Cayo District.

During the period of the project, an investment of more than BZ$6 million is being invested by the International Cooperation Development Fund (ICDF) Taiwan, the International Regional Or ganization for Plant and Animal Health (OIRSA) and participating countries to enable capacity-building, procurement of laboratory supplies and reagents, provision of sentinel farms with satellite image monitoring and introduction of vari eties resistant to FOCTR4.

The project benefits the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. Since September 2021, the Taiwan Mission has carried out the joint pilot project stage with OIRSA and the authorities of the three participating countries to advance studies and activities with the objective of preventing and deal

ing with the FOC TR4 disease of bananas, which includes international virtual forums with experts from Taiwan, face-to-face na tional fora, technical training sessions for the three countries and strengthening ca pacities in symptomatology and biosecurity measures. The Taiwan Space Center also cooperates with satellite monitoring of the disease through the establishment of nine sentinel points in Central America.

The cultivation of bananas and plan tains has great potential for agriculture in Central America. Fusarium Tropical Race 4 is a quarantine pest that can survive for more than 30 years in the soil and, so far, no cure has been found. This plague puts at risk the food security and the economy of the productive sector of the region with an export value of more than US$ 1,500 mil lion in 2020.

Guaranteeing food security is an objec tive of all countries, so the Taiwan Technical Mission in cooperation with OIRSA and the agricultural authorities in Belize, Guatemala and Honduras are pleased to share through this project the successful experiences of Taiwan in dealing with FOC TR4.

Also, participating in the signing event were Mr. Fermin Blanco, OIRSA Country Representative, and Mrs. Zoe Zetina, Man aging Director, Belize Agricultural Health Authority.

GoB Statement on Oceana Press Conference

Having regard to the press conference held by Oceana today, November 17, 2022, the Government of Belize here by clarifies that it has not entered into any agreements for seismic studies nor for oil exploration in offshore areas. The Government of Belize has made unprecedented progress in positioning its natural capital in its overall vision for the eco nomic recovery and growth of our country. Consistent with Plan Belize, and its mandate to ensure the responsible use of its natural capital to realize its economic, social and environ mental goals, the government will continue to approach its natural capital resources in a responsible and wise manner.

In the meeting held on September 9, 2022, the Prime Minister, among other matters, did discuss the issue of seis mic surveys and the existing moratorium with Oceana. In

pursuance of his commitment to environmental and social principles, the Prime Minister reiterated the need to under stand the extent of Belize’s offshore non-renewable econom ic resources in order to have an informed strategy on their potential for leveraging, given the national direction towards decarbonization and nature-based economy. Furthermore, the government’s commitment to allow the determination of such an important policy to be people-centered was restated by the Prime Minister.

THE BELIZE TIMES

The statements by Oceana at the press conference today are regrettable especially given its accessibility to this ad ministration’s offices at the highest level for open and trans parent discourse to have a clear and unified approach to this issue and all matters of mutual and national interest.
