CEO Shal Says Major Order of License Plates Almost Ready

The frustration among Belizean drivers over delayed vehicle plates, stickers, and driver’s licences may finally come to an end after a prolonged wait. As reported by News 5 in mid-January, many drivers, particularly those in rural areas, have been left without their credentials for months, and in some cases, even years.

The Minister of Transport, Rodwell Ferguson, had said during the Open Your Eyes morning show that his ministry had “made an order for a large amount of license plates, stickers, and cards.” He added that the delay experienced by many drivers would “be an issue of the past” and that “once those license plates are produced and stickers, we can say that the department of transport is on top of that now.”

Yesterday the Ministry of Rural Transformation, Community Development, Labour, and Local Government’s Chief Executive Officer, Valentino Shal, announced on his Facebook that the “major order we have placed is almost ready.”
