The Opposition is questioning the Social Security Board’s proposed twenty-million-dollar investment in Hydro Belize. SSB wants to buy a bigger stake in the hydroelectric company, which would bring its ownership to about forty-five percent. But Opposition Leader Tracy Panton says the public knows too little about the deal, even though Belizean workers are the ones paying into the Social Security Fund. Panton says she supports smart, profitable investments, but contributors deserve full disclosure when their money is involved. She also says the age of Hydro Belize’s infrastructure makes transparency even more important.
