Thea Ramirez Denies Any Shenanigans in Land Title Distribution

As election season approaches, it’s not uncommon to see questionable activities involving the distribution of land titles by political hopefuls. Recently, our newsroom received a tip about a list of Corozal residents whose names appeared in a post by P.U.P. Corozal Bay Standard Bearer, Thea Garcia-Ramirez. Ramirez, who commutes to Belmopan for work, addressed the concerns, stating she has nothing to hide. She clarified that the land title documents she is distributing are for individuals who applied long before she became a standard bearer. Some of these applicants don’t even reside in her constituency, and some are supporters of the U.D.P. living in Corozal. Ramirez explained that many of these individuals have asked her to collect their land documents on their behalf since her daily commute to Belmopan makes it convenient for her and saves them the cost and hassle of the trip. She emphasized that she has no authority to process land applications for anyone. Her Facebook post listing the names was simply an effort to assist by delivering the documents to the rightful owners. Ramirez stressed that she does not work in the Lands Department and has no power to distribute land. She has been helping in this manner for years, well before her political ambitions. She assured that her actions are purely altruistic, aimed at aiding Corozal residents, and she has never received any complaints about her efforts.
