Ports Minister Knows Nothing About Portico Legislation
posted (September 29, 2023)

And while there is no Port at that point of entry in Toledo - there are multiple ports in the Belize District - and if government has its way - in time there will be one more at the Port of Magical Belize.

That's the purpose of the "BELIZE CRUISE SHIP DOCKING FACILITY AND TOURISM VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT BILL" - which the Prime Minister unapologetically calls The Portico Legislation.

It's the most important piece of legislation dealing with Ports right now - but incredibly, theMinister in charge of Ports told us point blank today that it has not passed his desk - and that he only saw it on 7News:

Michel Chebat, Minister of Public Utilities
"I have not yet seen the draft the first time I saw that it was actually on Channel 7 so I don't know the provenance of it."
