I hear there will be a press conference by the Government tomorrow regarding the blackouts; I will quote some headlines from the Belize media:

There were intermittent power outages countrywide over the long weekend - and while most people we spoke to felt that a spiteful Stan Marshall was toggling the switch to make the government get the sense - BEL has assured us, no such thing happened.

Conspiracy theorists will tell you the separate nationwide blackouts that occurred over the long weekend were messages from Belize Electricity Limited to the Public Utilities Commission.

Everybody has a different opinion; I don't buy their excuses so early after threatening the Government of Belize with "blackouts when we don't get our raise" and think the behaviour of BEL is criminal and should be threated as such. We need competition on the Electricity Market in Belize.
Any ideas?
