Emmanuel: Doran Again Chooses A CowardS Method Of Operation

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten — Independent MP Christophe Emmanuel on Thursday said it was a pity that Minister of VROMI Egbert Doran would break the goodwill of the holiday season with a set of tomfoolery and stupidity during an interview on Thursday morning.

Emmanuel said that while listening to the Minister, a persistent source of corruption in government, accuse him (Emmanuel) of “everything under the sun,” he sat there bewildered and merely shook his head. They have already lost, according to Emmanuel, if that is their game plan.

The sole benefit of “Doran’s ranting” on the radio, according to MP Emmanuel, was that it served as a timely reminder that he (Emmanuel) still has unresolved issues with the prosecutor’s office and the manipulation and rigging of the waste collection contracts, outlined in the now infamous Ombudsman report.

The Minister of VROMI actually got on radio and said I created the Irma dump, somehow forgetting that it was an emergency situation for the country and somehow forgetting that the decision was taken by the EOC (the Emergency Operations Center) who takes over in such calamities Read more

At the beginning of 2022, I promised you that as a party, URSM would be taking another road, a different approach toward politics. A new attitude to ensure that we capture and focus on what counts and what is important in building a future for the next generation, and the generations to come.

In doing so, we worked tirelessly as a party to find competent and qualified candidates who are compassionate, who have an unconditional love for their country, and who will always put our Country above self Read more
