I know the SBOD and temporary manager of NV GEBE are working diligently to install the crisis management team post haste.

SMN News learned that the Human Resources Manager Clifford Sasso and Selwyn Merkman, a Facilities Supervisor were also suspended since there are videos of them removing boxes of documents from NV GEBE premises. It has been understood that the temporary manager Troy Washington met with Sasso on Tuesday afternoon. It is not yet confirmed if Sasso has been issued the letter of suspension on Tuesday.

Residents of St. Maarten have said that the suspended COO Merrill Temmer and former Temporary Manager Sharine Daniel illegally sent out bills with wrong meter readings. They said that bills were sent with estimates instead of actual meter readings all of which benefit the company and not the people.

Persons within the community are furious with what they termed as highday robbery from a government-owned company.
