La Parlamentaria Wescot-Williams Vuelve A Cuestionar La Legitimidad Del Gobierno De Na/Up, Ante La Ausencia De Cualquier Acuerdo Que Demuestre Que Al Menos 8 Miembros Estn A Favor De Este Gobierno.

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – Es una total falta de respeto al parlamento y al pueblo. Podemos recordar cmo se anunci el apoyo de dos miembros nuevos/adicionales a fines de junio, hace ms de 5 meses.

No obstante mi solicitud de un comunicado oficial al parlamento; a pesar de mi solicitud de un debate sobre el plan anual del gobierno para el ao parlamentario 2022-2023, sigue siendo un silencio ensordecedor.

En todo esto, el nombramiento de un ministro de Turismo, Asuntos Econmicos, Telecomunicaciones y Transportes sigue siendo un misterio, agreg la parlamentaria, y uno no puede dejar de preguntarse por qu.

El candidato para este puesto es de conocimiento pblico, entonces, cul es el problema? pregunt la parlamentaria Wescot.

PHILIPSBURG:--- MP Wescot-Williams again challenges the legitimacy of the NA/UP Government, in the absence of any agreement that shows that at least 8 members are in support of this government.

Its total disrespect to the parliament and the people.

We can recall how the support of two new/additional members was announced at the end of June, more than 5 months ago.

Notwithstanding my request for an official communique to parliament; notwithstanding my request for a debate of the governments year plan for the 2022-2023 parliamentary year, it remains a deafening silence.

In all of this, the appointment of a Tourism, Economic Affairs, Telecommunication, and Transportation minister remains shrouded in mystery, the MP added, and one can not help but wonder why Read more

Mp Sarah Wescot-Williams, Body Searches Sad And Unacceptable.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten, – MP Sarah Wescot-Williams was appalled by not only the two incidents as described in recent publications regarding so-called search tactics used by the police in Philipsburg against two citizens, but also by the reaction of the police top.

I cringed at reading how our officer(s) misused their power and humiliated the persons involved.
Especially for the woman and the circumstance in which she found herself, it must have been a most terrifying and humiliating experience.

As a woman, mother, grandmother, I cant but condemn in the strongest possible way that any of our citizens, unless posing a serious and life-threatening danger, be subjected to this type of bodily violation Read more

~Mullet Bay in the News, but behind closed doors~

Whether by design or default, Mullet Bay appears twice on the schedule of parliament this week.

Unfortunately, none of these times, will the general public be privy to the discussions regarding this piece of real estate that is not only reminiscent of a buoyant period of our tourism industry but also of near full employment in the hotel sector of the entire island, both north and south, MP Wescot stated on Sunday evening, ahead of the meetings on Monday.

MP Wescot-Williams explained that of the 2 meetings that are scheduled this week on the topic of Mullet Bay, one has to do with the objection petition filed by over 2000 persons against the development of Mullet Bay Beach, and the other meeting is one of the Committee Parliamentary Inquiry Mullet Bay, both scheduled behind closed doors.

The Minister of VROMI has replied to the questions by the petitioners, and parliament -via the petition committee- has to now decide on the next steps, the MP further explained.

On the topic of the Mullet Bay Inquiry Committee of Parliament, it should be noted that this committee, established in 2019, had estimated 8 months to accomplish what it had set out to do, namely Give Mullet Bay Back to the People Read more
