Lake I Boulevard Disaster A Public Liability
Fri, October 20, 2017
And while the PM battled back on that point, he conceded to the disaster on Lake I Boulevard, and said that yes, government will have to use public funds to fix the problem:...

Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"But she conceded that there clearly were some design shortcomings and for that because ultimately BIL is a creature of the government, we will have to take blame, but that's a different thing completely from suggesting that BIL is a vehicle for facilitating any kind of hustle. I pointed out that the complete opposite is true, but that a mistake clearly of some sort was made with respect to the Lake Independence Boulevard must be conceded."

"What I do say to the Belizean public is that we will fix it and we are already in discussion with Miss Mastry as to how we can fix it without there being any significant additional costs. But we concede squarely and fairly that there was obviously some design shortcomings."
