Local TV reveals lies by Belize, Prime Minister!

CHANNEL 5 INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS EXPOSE LIES BY THE PRIME MINISTER.

In a speech on Independence Day, there is a clip on television news, showing the Prime Minister, Dean Barrow, saying that his UDP Government has enabled the shipment of live cattle to Mexico with various pre-agreements necessary. In his speech he said it was imminent, if not almost immediately, 3000 head of Belize cattle were ready to be exported across the border to Mexico.
On the basis of this, we were debating on whether to award his 55% Approval Rating Report Card with an extra 5 points for a job well done.
Unfortunately, the same evening, Channel 5 Television investigative reporters reported the Prime Minister's claim as HOGWASH and political bombastic rhetoric. They reported that there were numerous bureaucratic, political and other impediments to making this a done deal. In fact, the bureaucratic holdups in the Prime Minister's government would take at least a year to make such an exportation deal of live cattle to Mexico possible.
The UDP government remains at an 55% approval rating.
