Last night we told you about a proposal made to the Belize Port Authority by a Panamanian gaming firm for a 1.3 million US dollar management system. As we told you, our information is that it came out of the blue, meaning it was not solicited. But, reports. Tell us it went all the way up to the board level for consideration - and lack of enthusiasm for the proposal may have factored into the Chairman Major Lloyd Jones not being renewed for another term.
Well, the Port authority responded with a release yesterday evening saying, quote, "as part of our commitment to continuous improvement and in preparation for the upcoming IMO Member State Audit in November 2025, we have embarked on enhancing our operations through several modernization initiatives."
The release adds, "While the BPA has been in communication with other entities for further enhancement through modernization, we have not entered into any contractual arrangements with any other entity for the completion of its modernization plan." End quote.
So, no contract has been signed but we're yet to hear that the 1.3million US dollar proposal floated by "Jota Efe" has been rejected. We'll keep following it.
