Alberto August, U.D.P. Shadow Minister of Transport

“The ministerial incompetence of the current minister of transport and sports, the honorable Rodwell Ferguson is as clear as crystal for not only Belize, but for the world to see. For the very first time in the history of this country, the nation is experiencing a prolonged unavailability of vehicle license plate, vehicle stickers and drivers license. We will recall that the minister telling the nation this matter will be addressed by September last year. The Prime minister then came on and said that this matter would be addressed by the end of the year. We are almost finished with eh first month of the new year and the nation is still experiencing this level of incompetence. When we look at the various bus terminals across this country and the dilapidated conditions of these facilities, it is a further indication of the ministerial incompetence of Rodwell Ferguson. The next UDP government with the blessing of the people of the country will immediately address this matter of vehicle license plate, license stickers and the national availability of drivers license.”
