Dean Barrow Closed Camp 5 Oil Refinery And Now Promises To Build A Local Refinery

Screen_shot_2012-03-01_at_8.28.44_PMIn their 2012/2017 manifesto, the Dean Barrow Administration is promising Belizeans an oil refinery, more mortgage write offs and lower interest rates. When he made the announcement about the oil refinery, Dean Barrow promised Belizeans that the country will produce its own fuel. For context here is what the Prime Minister said.


Dean Barrow Prime Minister of Belize

“But we simply cannot countenance for much longer the situation in which at the pump locally, the people of this country are being by too high fuel prices, therefore the United Democratic Party will within the shortest possible time just so long as it takes to actually construct this thing, built a local oil refinery.”

Now remember, without releasing any preliminary studies to show what an oil refinery would cost or its environmental impact on our fragile ecology, the Prime Minister boasted that should the UDP return to office for a second term they will refine oil in Belize.

But why should we believe the Prime Minister now if when oil was being refined in the community of Shipyard he did not support the initiative or much less the owner of the small oil refinery? In late 2009, Government agents were sent to close down Farm Diesel Supply, a small oil refinery located at camp 5 in the community of Shipyard. Back then the refinery was operated by Mennonite pioneer Jacob Wall and his son. Farm Diesel Supply produced 6,000 gallons of cheap diesel with crude oil purchased from Belize Natural Energy. The cheaper fuel was attractive to a number of companies including bus lines and hundreds of cane farmers. Aside from hard work and ingenuity, the Wall family had already invested over half a million dollars into the operations when they got the bad news that Government was forcing them shut.

Approximately three months before Wall was closed down CTV3 News ran a story on the oil refinery. Here is that story.

So much for supporting an oil refinery right?

BELFUEL HAS NOT CLOSED DOWN ONE COMMENT SAYS.

The oil refinery is not closed down. I am presently buying diesel from them. They operate under the name Belfuel."
