Union Says, “Build the University Hospital on U.B. Land”

According to Martinez, the N.T.U.C.B.’s investigation into the sale of the property has revealed that title has not been transferred to the Government of Belize.  He says that the union has met with its attorneys, as well as other real estate agents who are also looking into the matter.

“We can’t say it any, any other way.  We also found out that the land hasn’t been transferred to the government as yet and we are getting down to the bottom of whether the government has made payment to the businessman.”

“As the trade union congress, with all this information that you are armed with, what is the union’s move in terms of trying to bring awareness to what seems to be the government attempting to pull the wool over the government’s eye?”

“We are very open and transparent with the information that we receive, and we are prepared to share what we’ve uncovered with the general public.  As a matter of fact, we welcome the media to witness firsthand us doing our research at the Ministry of Natural Resources.  We just want to remind the government that the N.T.U.C.B. also has technocrats.  We had a meeting last night with our attorneys.  We had meetings last night with trained and practicing real estate agents and so we have technocrats looking at this also from that side who are seeing and agreeing that the government is bullsh*tting people.”
