EXCO SHOULD INVESTIGATE DOMAIN AFFAIRS—SOAB ADVISED.
SMNN - Philipsburg: --- Several red flags were raised when the inspectors from SOAB began their investigation at the department of ROB/VROM. In the preliminary report which was submitted to the island Lt. Governor it stated that the executive council should conduct an indebt investigation into domain affairs. The investigation conducted by SOAB showed that there are irregularities at the department even though an indebt investigation was not conducted in that specific department.
One of those flags was the fact that several civil servants working both at the department and in offices of commissioners managed to secure domain land even though their request was recent. The report stated that a detailed control was not done at that department yet the discrepancies were written on the wall. Several persons who just recently requested domain land including workers of the department already got the land even though there are persons on the waiting list long before them.[More....]

The investigation in ROB/VROM should continue in all departments. It's a crying shame that the public of St.Maarten have to learn or confirm these allegations.If heads don't roll this time around, something is terribly wrong with our civil servants who took an oath to uphold the laws and proper procedures of the island regulations.
We want Separate Status, to run and manage our own affairs, but here is a story which should make all of St.Maarteners bow our head in shame. These are our own people, no one else to blame. The greed is deep and far reaching. Therefor we must stop, as Loui says, the Cancer.
'something is terrible wrong with our civil servants'
How about our judges as well? I want accountibility, responsibility...and you know who should take leave? The commissioner of ROB/VROM, IF HE'S A MAN!
It's his goddamn department, so he's responsible for everything that goes wrong. he should have known the situation was bad. He should have stepped in, but he FAILED bitterly.
In Japan the head of a failing department would have done the honourable thing, which is stepping down. But here... No way. It's, like written in the previous comment, a crying shame.
