PM on $6.9 Million Land Purchase, “We have moved on.”

Prime Minister John Briceño was unwilling to speak any further on the six-point-nine-million-dollar hospital land purchase in Belmopan. He says the experts already spoke on Tuesday and answered all the questions. So, when he was asked whether the government will consider reversing the deal, he said, we have moved on.

“Amidst the social and physical protests about the hospital land that’s been going on will the government consider moving it back to the UB land, especially since Godfrey Smith has said that you could change the location on the land?”

“Well, I think honestly guys, if we were to do that, it would still cost us millions of dollars because a sale has been consumed. There’s a contract and any lawyer that’s worth its salt will tell you there’s a contract, unless the seller would want to come and say you know what I want back my money.  Even if you’re to ask, so I think we have moved on. I think we’ve answered all the questions. The technical people have come on board and explained as to why they preferred this position. So, I don’t have any more to comment on that.”
