But the program was launched in 2018 with the Taiwanese Embassy, and the CEO met with them today to rectify the issue. He was encouraged by the outcome:

Chester Williams, CEO, Ministry of Transport
"The meeting went extremely well with the Taiwanese embassy. I was extremely happy to see that the ambassador herself took the lead from the embassy standpoint in making sure that we were able to have this very good discussion this morning and I am very optimistic that the system should be brought up very shortly. I have explained to them that we do have the monies on hand to be able to pay the sum owed. And again I see on social media some people are asking why don't we seek local developers to develop the program just for clarity of the Belizean people the system that we currently have was donated by Taiwan, Taiwan paid for it even the monies that we had that were supposed to be paid to the developers the money also came from Taiwan. So this comes at no cost to the Belizean government if we were to go and seek local developers to develop such a program we would be paid in the millions for such a program. So it is best that we try to bring up what we currently have again. It is not going to take much, it's just paying what we owe and then go back to the drawing board with the developers and explain to them basically what we want the system to do. And speaking with the chief transport officer and his people they are saying that they want additional features to be added to the system and so I have tasked them yesterday to come together, discuss and come up with a plan in terms of what exactly we want the system to do so that when we meet with the developers, because we are hoping that they would be able to come to Belize very shortly, we will be able to say to them exactly what we want. If we are trying to see if we can have a virtual meeting with the developers. And again we were lucky to have been told that those persons who have been involved with the development of the system in 2017 still works with the company that deals with the system so them being there still imbedded in the company that is good for us because they know the system they know what they will need to do and so if they can communicate with CITO and try to bring the system up virtually then we can begin to print driver's license hopefully within the next two weeks. If that is not done then the alternative route is for them to come to Belize to see what would need to be done to get the system up and running but I am very optimistic that they should be able to resolve the issues within a month's time."
