Chairman Address

Message from the Chairman, Belize Rural South

In today’s day and age, it has been proven that no organization can move forward if it is to ignore or underestimate the power of electronic communication. The People’s United Party Belize Rural South has embraced this idea following closely on the suggestions by members in previous meetings held.

We present to you our newsletter which has been specifically designed to inform every one of the many activities that the PUP is planning to conduct which will lead up to Town Council Elections in March 2009. It also serves as a platform in bringing to light the many terrible conditions which residents are faced to live with on a daily basis, such as, the deplorable street conditions. However, what is most astonishing is the seemingly complete ignorance of this present UDP Town Council to address the people’s plight as they bicker relentlessly among themselves for power.

Ever since being elected to a second term, the UDP Town Council has virtually come to a halt. With the embarrassing and shameful conditions of the streets being at their worst, it is almost as if this present UDP Town Council has lost its limited will to serve the people. It is certain that they are riding on the assumption that the next election is just “a shoo-in” for the UDP. This, fellow residents of Belize Rural South, is not only downright unacceptable but also a perfect recipe for three more years of complacency and a non-productive Town Council.

The People’s United Party has also launched its blog which will keep you in line with the various happenings within the party. It will keep you up to date with the happenings within the PUP, with the issues that are close at heart.

The third and, of course, very important message I would like to convey is that the PUP executive is steadfastly working and taking very careful considerations in looking at prospective candidates to contest the upcoming Town Council Elections. As Chairman, I would like to assure you that we will definitely be presenting a slate which is of sound mind, accountable, transparent, and of strong ethical values. It will be a team that completely embodies the PUP motto: “SERVE THE PEOPLE.”

Should you have a concern or issue, we invite you to look out for any of our members of the Executive body and be not afraid to voice your concerns or suggestions. As you all can see the PUP is far into the race diligently working and reorganizing as we prepare to present a PUP slate worthy of being given the opportunity to humbly serve you at the Town Hall.
