LOO Meets with NTUCB President and BCCI Executives 

Leader of the Opposition, Moses Barrow, met with President of the National Trade Union Congress of Belize (NTUCB), Luis Luke Martinez. Barrow says the discussion centred on pressing national issues, specifically the push for the government to return $6.9 million to the public purse and to proceed with the construction of the tertiary hospital on the University of Belize campus.

Previously, Barrow met with executives from the Belize Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI), led by President Katherine Meighan and CEO Kim Aikman. The meeting addressed crucial topics such as tax reform, compliance and enforcement, price control, multi-sectoral inclusion to strengthen government oversight, as well as corruption and campaign financing laws. These discussions aimed at creating a more favourable environment for business growth.

The UDP emphasised the importance of listening to key stakeholders like the BCCI, noting that their policies will be shaped by contributions from all sectors.
