Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG--The second meeting of Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee for Integrity stalled on Thursday, when sufficient Members of Parliament (MPs) failed to show up for the session to have a quorum.
Ad Hoc Committee Chairman Member of Parliament (MP) Dr. Lloyd Richardson opened the meeting just to announce that three MPs were signed in and present in the General Assembly Hall of Parliament House. Along with Dr. Richardson (United People's Party) were MP Sarah Wescot-Williams (Democratic Party) and Cornelius de Weever (independent).
Ad Hoc Committee members absent with notice were MPs William Marlin (National Alliance), Leona Marlin-Romeo (independent) and Franklin Meyers (UP).
The committee has as members the six faction leaders in Parliament. Other MPs can participate in the meetings.
Thursday's meeting was a continued discussion on the establishing of parameters for Parliament's Permanent Committee on Integrity.
A new date will be set for the Ad Hoc Committee to resume its deliberations.
