Justice Personnel Threaten Action If Legal Placements Not Addressed

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – Personnel in the Justice Field submitted a demand letter to the Minister of Justice Juredy Dorean and the Governor of St. Maarten on Monday, January 6, claiming that if their concerns/request are not met by Monday, January 13, they would proceed with what they called “other measures.”

The issue concerns the placements of Police and Immigration officers in their legal status. The justice workers approached Police Inspector Lyndon Lewis, who has represented many of them in court, seeking his advice on how he can assist them on the pushing the justice organization forward because, according to them, the management team isn’t doing anything in getting the personnel affairs of the police force in order.

“I told them that this is not a Police/Immigration issue but a Justice issue, because the entire Justice Ministry (Customs, Coast Guards, Prison Guards and the administrative workers of those departments) are upside down with regards to the legal status of every justice department Read more

Part 3: The Conspiracy To Ruin Mp Christopher Emmanuel

If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, thats not progress. If you pull it all the way out, thats not progress. The progress comes from healing the wound that the blow made. They havent begun to pull the knife out They wont even admit the knife is there.
Malcom X

I would like to start by thanking Raeyhon Peterson for finally admitting publicly and in writing that, as I had set out to bring to light, the accusations levied against MP Christopher Emmanuel and his Chief of Staff were a fabrication!

The additional colorful statements made by Peterson and the written attack on Emmanuel and his Chief of Staff by one of his supporters and another person in the newspaper are of no relevance to me, as Peterson with his statement has already proven that he lied to everyone involved or at least to the judicial authorities.

There are now public statements by the current Minister of VROMI Chris Wever (on video), the previous Minister of VROMI Miklos Giterson (on video), the Secretary General of the Ministry of VROMI Louis Brown (written documents) and Raeyhon Peterson (press release), verifying that there is no policy or structural procedures as it relates to the issuance of government long lease land.

And so, we move on.

Today we will delve into the screening process for ministers and the manner in which it is directly tied into the conspiracy to ruin MP Emmanuel Read more
