Corporate Governance Council Asked To Make Their Position Available.

Accused of overstepping their authorities and leaking information.

PHILIPSBURG:--- The Prime Minister of St. Maarten requested the members of the Corporate Governance Council (CGC) to make their positions available after they sent a letter to the Prime Minister informing him that both candidates that were nominated for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position of TELEM  are qualified for the position, but also insinuated in their letter to the Prime Minister whom they believe is more qualified for the position.
Besides overstepping their authority as an advisory body, the members of the council allegedly leaked information to one of the two candidates who then went on a radio program boasting to be the most qualified candidate based on the advice/letter sent to the Prime Minister.
SMN News learned that the members of the CGC allegedly also leaked information to the unions who also made statements relating to the advice.
SMN News  further understands that the Prime Minister William Marlin sent the letter to the CGC on Friday when he realized that the members of CGC were influential and had preference as to whom he should appoint to the position even though he selected the candidate and then they asked for the information on the second candidate, something that is not normal Read more
