P.S.U. President Questions 2018 Land Sales Under U.D.P.

Dean Flowers, President of the Public Service Union, shared similar thoughts as he reflected on the sale of the hilltop property back in 2018 that the union once owned. This is the same year when this fifteen-acre property was sold to these Asian nationals. It’s also the same year that a portion of what had been designated as Las Flores Primary School property was sold to private investors. Flowers contends that it all points back to some very questionable transactions within a short time span.

 

Dean Flowers, President, P.S.U.

“In 2018 we were confronted with that hilltop situation with an Asian businessman form Corozal. We know the minister of land was also from Corozal. The las flores primary school, the children were deprived of their land, that was in 2018, again under the same group, the Belmopan City Council, RECONDEV, Ministry of Lands. We are here today, another Asian from Corozal. So, it would appear that between 2017 and 19 there was some very corrupt selling of land in Belmopan. Now, fast forward to today. It shows there is absolutely no difference between the quality of the type of people we are putting into office. This is a spinoff effect of what happened there. I always challenge this administration. You came into government on a platform of good governance. But nothing you are currently executing and doing is proving that you are committed to investing in the lives of Belizeans and addressing he issue of corruption.”
