Referendum Unit to Ramp Up Education Campaign

Dean Barrow

Many have criticized the Government’s I.C.J. Referendum Education Campaign, saying that information is not being distributed impartially to the wider population.  Prime Minister Dean Barrow today assured that by April tenth, the Referendum Unit would have increased efforts in the campaign to enable voters to make an informed decision.

“Everybody says that we got off to a late or a slow start and I am not going to argue that. There are those who will say that even now they still see for room for the undertaking to be ramped up even more. I simply want to assure you that I am convinced that finally we are beginning to have absolutely the right equation in terms of strategy, in terms of the human resources in charge of the campaign. So I believe that indeed by the time we get to April tenth the Referendum Unit would have done pretty much what it needed to do to put Belizeans in a position to make a wise and proper decision.”

Today’s two-hour press conference will be aired immediately following Mega Bingo.
