Dear Reader
We have an amber alert once again for a missing child. See the police report below in this edition.
On March 8th, the Governor of Sint Maarten, His Excellency drs. E.B. Holiday received a second update from the informateurs, Mrs. Dr. R.J.A. Arduin and Mr. J.J. Beaujon, on the progress of the information process.
The informateurs held meetings with representatives of political parties and the relevant stakeholders and emphasized that the discussions were constructive and positive. The next few days the informateurs will be concluding their meetings. They have informed the Governor that will finalize and submit their report to him as planned on Monday, March 12, 2018.
In the meantime, MP Sarah Wescot-Williams gives an elucidation on what a national broad based representative government means. See article below.
What that we would like to wish all our female readers a happy International Women's Week.
Do have a great day!
