And today the leader of the opposition also expressed concerns about a power contract that a Guatemalan company is applying for. As we have reported
the PUC put out a request for power – for which there were a number of proposals – apparently one from a Guatemalan company. And while it's not like we
can just shut down all contact with our neighbors to the west the Leader of the opposition said this one has to be looked at:…
Hon. Francis Fonseca, Leader of The Opposition
"The government of Belize and the public utilities commission is very close to awarding a contract to a Guatemalan company for the production of electrical
energy to supply to Belize Electricity Limited. We are sounded the warning that we believe that this contract has to be fully disclosed before it is
finalised, so that the Belizean people know exactly who is involved and what if any national security risk arise in the award of such a contract."
SEVERAL international companies have put in request and Green Topics is the Guatemalan company in question – but the applicant is a Belize registered
company and a subsidiary.
