N.T.U.C.B. President Berates Briceño Government

The President of the National Trade Union Congress of Belize, former Senator Luke Martinez, has been vocal about the N.T.U.C.B.’s position on the outrageous sale of private property to government for the building of the University Hospital.  In criticizing the Briceño administration for the questionable land purchase, Martinez also expressed displeasure with the Minister of Health and Wellness.

 

On the phone: Luke Martinez, President, N.T.U.C.B.

“Di government di bullsh*t the people and the government needs to do what was agreed upon in the Senate which is to build the hospital on UB land, done.  No negotiation, dehn noh need fi knock up dehn head bout goh pay this one or goh pay da one or goh look fi cheaper land or whatever.  Dehn get free land from UB, can’t get better than that.  That da weh di government need fi do.  Dehn need fi stop bullsh*t the people.  My message to the Minister of Health is that I am extremely disappointed in the Minister of Health because he appeared to have been a promising politician.  Everybody loved him when he was the mayor of Orange Walk and now for him to be participating in what appears to be some very funny transactions is very disappointing and I am disappointed in him.”
