Minister Says Land Clinics are Tedious Work

Land clinics were a hit when Plan Belize announced that the P.U.P government would make it easier for first-time landowners to get a piece of land. But it’s been a while since we’ve heard any updates. Today, the media asked the Minister of Natural Resources, Cordel Hyde, about the progress. He admitted that the tedious process has been taking a toll on him.

“Land clinics have slowly been killing me. It’s a lot of work, it’s a lot of work, it’s a lot of work. We’ve been – we’ve had so many clinics all over the country, but it is how we carry them upon to the people of Belize. It’s how we make the services that are far out of reach of ordinary people accessible to them and lots of time like Monday I was involved with a family for an hour and a half solving a problem -an hour and a half. Normally you don’t get to do that, but that problem has been solved for twenty years, and I think we finally figured out how to solve it.”
