PUP Deputy Says Private Mgmt Contract For Civic Should Be Rubbished
posted (March 20, 2018)
And while they want to take that election result to court, the PUP wants to take the private management contract for the Civic and throw it in the garbage. Today, Deputy Cordel Hyde told us why he thinks the high flying management contract is a farce:...

Hon. Cordel Hyde- PUP Rep, Lake I
"I think it is incredible that the government builds a $33 million building and then looks at us and says well we can't find anybody in the public service to manage it. There are 15 thousand public officers, some people say 17 thousand public officers, some of those persons are trained in some of the most prestigious universities in all the world and you tell me you can't find one public officer or a few public officers who can manage a facility like that or learn to manage a facility like that? Something about that makes no sense. At the end of the day, you hear some foreigner who has gotten the contract along with some silent local partners, it is just mind-boggling to me. I don't know man, I've said it before if we ever reach to Belmopan we should just tear that up, tear up the contract, rubbish that. I don't see what's so incredibly difficult to manage a stadium."
