P.M. hopes to complete B.T.L. sale
While the Prime Minister’s term of office has plenty of time left to run, such is not the case for the deal to sell Belize Telecommunications Ltd. With the original sixty-day due diligence period come and gone, the P.M. explained that the matter is very close to completion.
Prime Minister Said Musa
We are still hopeful that this week the matter will be finalised with Carlisle.”

“And they are looking favourable or…”
Prime Minister Said Musa
“Yes, in fact tomorrow we will be having what I hope will be a final discussion with Carlisle to finalise matters.”
Janelle Chanona
“Has a new deadline been set as to when everything will be concluded?”
Prime Minister Said Musa
“There was an extension given until, I think it’s the thirteenth.”
Janelle Chanona
“Of April or February?”
Prime Minister Said Musa
“February, yes.”
The opposition United Democratic Party today issued a press release accusing the government of incompetence and bad faith in its facilitation of the sale of B.T.L. to Innovative Communications and called for a public explanation of where the matter now stands.
