Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG--Members of Parliament (MPs) will continue to seek answers about the hefty security contract signed between St. Maarten Harbour Group of Companies and Checkmate Security in a meeting of the Central Committee of Parliament in Parliament House on Thursday, May 7, starting at 2:00pm. Tourism and Economic Affairs Minister Claret Connor is invited for the meeting.
The meeting originally was scheduled for today, Wednesday, but has been postponed due to the minister being ill.
The meeting was requested by opposition National Alliance (NA) MPs William Marlin, Silveria Jacobs, Christophe Emmanuel and George Pantophlet on March 5. They are keen to discuss the previous and current contracts signed between the Harbour Group and Checkmate Security, as well as the "sudden hike" in the contract sum for security services.
The meeting is open to the public. Interested persons can go to Parliament House (next to the Courthouse) to follow the proceedings from the gallery of the General Assembly Hall.
The session also will be live on St. Maarten Cable TV Channel 120, Pearl Radio FM 98.1,
