Minister Habet Says Dr. Martinez is an Asset to Government

As we reported, Doctor Osmond Martinez was sworn in as Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Trade two days ago. The former C.E.O. in the Ministry of Economic Development won handsomely at the polls last month in the Toledo East by-election. Today, Cabinet Minister, Orlando Habet said he thinks Martinez is a plus for the party, the government and for Belize.

“I am so happy that Minister Martinez is now part of our team – a very qualified, very able individual, and I think it will just be a plus for our administration to have him now, with the experience that he has gained at the Ministry of Economic Development, and now assisting Mr. Fonseca as a Minister of State in Foreign Trade, absolutely great for us as a party, but also for the administration, for our people. Because of his experience that he has gained at the Ministry of Economic Development, as I mentioned and then here at Foreign Trade, they would be closely linked. There are a lot of things that are closely linked where he can move that knowledge that he has gained there to Foreign Trade to improve not only the investments but also local economy.”
