BELIZE CABINET TRANSPORT MINISTER, MELVIN HULSE UNDER SCRUTINY BY PUBLIC

Cabinet Transport Minister - Melvin Hulse


MINISTER OF TRANSPORTATION, MELVIN HULSE OF BELIZE - WILL HE DELIVER DEVELOPMENT?


We await with interest to see how this much ballyhooed publicity campaign on the airways, about requiring all bus companies to get their permits renewed by the end of this month. Just this past evening we heard Minister Hulse, talk about the changes and improvements he has made with transportation and the difficulties. Much of the talk was to do with the Ladyville – Belize City runs.

Out Western Belize we await with great curiosity to see if the Western bus run permits are going to require ALL bus companies with this permit renewal to terminate and begin their runs at the Western Border Entry and Exit facility at the extreme end of the Western Highway of Belize. Until now, the termination has been in a small park, in the center of an old colonial town called Benque Viejo, which is around 2 miles or more away from the border Customs and Immigration facility at the end of a double paved boulevard.

The current UDP government approval rating REPORT CARD stands at 56%. Depending on what happens at the end of this month and the re-newal permit exercise is over, we plan to AWARD the UDP government 10 percentage points if the permit system under the control of UDP Cabinet Minister Melvin Hulse, requires Western bus route permits to terminate and begin the run at the Immigration and Customs crossing buildings, thus offering regional and foreign tourism a way of entering Belize conveniently by bus. Should this not occur, then the opposite would occur and indeed penalties would be 20 points reducing the UDP Government approval rating REPORT CARD even lower than 50%. We can only wait and see what leadership is going to come out of this UDP CABINET?
