Lately a lot has been said by mischief-makers about the ownership of the BELIZE TIMES, casting uncertainty about the loyalty of the longest serving newspaper in Belize.

For the record, since the early 50s the BELIZE TIMES and Independence Hall on #3 Queen Street were assets owned by the Price Estate.

In the case of the BELIZE TIMES other shareholders later invested in the business. Over the years, private funds were expended to buy the interests of the Price Estate when the estate resettled in favour of the beneficiaries. Private funds were also used to rebuild and refurbish the property following a disastrous fire that destroyed the structure in a politically motivated attack.

 Throughout history, the owners of the BELIZE TIMES and Independence Hall have never used the assets other than for the benefit of and in support of the People’s United Party. Even today, with a new PUP leader, the owners maintain their pledge to continue supporting the People’s United Party and defending the peaceful, constructive Belizean revolution. That shall continue to be our objective.

The BELIZE TIMES is not for sale.
