Viewers believe S.S.B. should put Telemedia Investment on hold
On Tuesday night we asked about the burning issue of the Social Security Board investment in Telemedia shares. The question was should the unions hold off investment until litigation against the company is concluded in the courts. Well, the viewers have spoken and seventy-nine percent think that the fifty million dollar investment for twenty percent share holding should have been put on hold, while the other twenty-one percent did not object to investing in the shares. One viewer commented on our IMS saying, “In order to maintain transparency amidst dwindling public trust, the union should wait.” On Tuesday, the social partners did not support the investment, but they were outvoted, five to four, by the government representatives.
It’s pretty obvious that the government had all intentions to go full steam ahead and do what they
had in mind and that was to BULLY SSB and the Belizean people into their kind of unethical
business–I guess they are working out their retirement fund-Belizeans should now begin to pick
up their axe & paddle.
