"The BNTU at the vote of the NTUCB voted against this."

Nadia Caliz, BNTU President

"We voted no to the acquisition because we don't have information, have you ever paid attention to history every single time brother Ashcroft is involved in something there is a non disclosure agreement, a non disclosure agreement, a non disclosure agreement? Every single time and why is that? Why do we always have to go that route. Now the Belizean people are not happy and it is our money, it is our money and we need answers."

Jules Vasquez
"Do you think mr Briceno who I would want to think is a younger more enlightened man is following in the footsteps of Said Musa?"

Nadia Caliz, BNTU President
"Well let's wait and see."
