Another Fresh Face in Electoral Politics

Meet Leroy Lisbey, another fresh face in politics hailing from the Cayo District. This former public officer is passionate about fair land distribution and boosting the agriculture sector. Here’s what he had to say.

 

Leroy Lisbey, Belizeans Justice Movement

“I decided to enter politics because I have seen a lot of the injustices happening in the country of Belize.  For instance, in the unequal distribution of land that affects most of our citizens.  We need to make sure that the land be distributed to the people that are in need, make land available for the landless.  The market roads are in deplorable conditions and we need to upgrade these so that the farmers have access to reach their farms and bring out their produce so that the prices of the vegetables or whatever it is their producing be reduced.  Another great issue that I see happening is that we need to revitalize the industry like banana, citrus, and the cane industry.  Those are the things that generate income to this country and they are just left aside.  How can we become productive in that way, in generating revenue, improving these sectors?  All of these are things that affect Belize as a nation.  Of course, I am a retired public servant, as I said earlier, and I have seen where they have put public servants below other people.”
