And while government has been taking a public relations pounding in the past week, seems Said Musa's Cabinet still has a few plums to share. Those were announced in today's Cabinet briefing.
For started the Corozal Free Zone will be opened to shoppers for two days. On November 17th and December 15th. Belizean shoppers will be able to go into the zone and purchase whatever they want as
Long as its not tobacco and alcohol. But while it is a free zone, it is not a free for all and unlike well connected free zone players, those shoppers will have to check their goods through Customs on the way back.
And further to the PM's announcement a few weeks ago, government has also committed to increase the non contributory pension from $75 to $100.
And mixing in the controversial with the kindly, in a perplexing move, Transport Minister Joe Coye will sign a statutory instrument il-legalizing tinted windows. Sure, it seems just about every car, including ministerial rides seems to have at least 5 tinted windows, but now the SI - according to the Cabinet brief - will prohibit the use of motor vehicles that have tine.
We tried to get a clarification as to whether this means all tint or just very dark ones but we were unable to speak to transport authorities today.
