Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG:--- Indebt investigation as to really why certain politicians namely, MP Frans Richardson wants to remove Minister of Justice Dennis Richardson showed that certain politicians wanted the Minister of Justice to rent some buildings that are being constructed in St. Johns area.SMN News learnt that the politicians that were behind the Minister of Justice to rent these buildings that are presently being constructed were to house the MOT, National Archives, a Police Sub-station and the Landsrecherche. A source said that the intention to have the Minister of Justice rent these buildings have been going on for a long time but the rent allegedly increased by 40% since the first proposal was submitted.SMN News learnt that the Landsrecherche and the MOT refused to leave their current location because they are unable to break the least agreement they have at this current time. Another reason given is that the advice the Minister of Justice received on placing a police sub-station in St. Johns was negative because the Police (KPSM) prefers to have a substation in South Reward or St. Peters area where there are more problems involving students.Another source told SMN News that MP Frans Richardson and his party is quite upset with Minister Richardson who have not been informing him of what he is doing in Justice even though as member of the coalition he was given that Ministry. The source said that several members of the UPP are in favor of removing Minister Richardson but they were not telling it him directly, however, since Minister Richardson signed the agreement with the Minister of Kingdom Relations Ronald Plasterk to establish an integrity chamber on St. Maarten they felt that the time is right to remove Minister Richardson using the agreement he signed as the main reason.
