Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
Dear Editor,
I am writing this article with sadness in my heart. I have worked for forty years in the Justice system, and based on the position I held during my last 12 years in service, I worked very closely with the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that I, during my lifetime, would hear that our local Prosecutor's Office has been accused of class justice by a resident judge in a criminal court case. This accusation is a serious matter and I believe that the Minister of Justice, posthaste, should appoint a committee of persons of knowledge and integrity to investigate what went wrong in the case of vote buying and selling, and who really took the decision not to prosecute the United People's Party and its leadership.
Those who bungle up should bear the consequences. Their actions or lack thereof have shamed this island. No political party or its leadership should be above the law and surely not the leadership of the United People's Party, who has been embroiled in many integrity issues during the past four years.
