The UDP chairman has written to the prime minister under the freedom of information act regarding their reacquisition of the Port of Belize. In the letter, he asks two questions, whether private entities or companies were hired by the government and if so, how much they were paid?
Peyrefitte has lamented before that the PM doesn't normally respond to his Freedom of Information requests. So will he answer this one?

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"The short answer is yes."
