Parliament of St. Maarten now stuck with law firm at $7000 per month?
Watching the parliament meeting with Mr. Peter Choharis of the law firm hired to submit a petition to the United Nations (UN) on behalf of the Parliament and the People of St. Maarten, a question started to ferment in the back of our minds. Who is really paying this good gentleman?
Out of the meetings held yesterday, Wednesday, May 26, and today, Thursday, May 27, all we can gather is that Mr. Choharis has been hired by 'Parliament'. He has not named any individuals who exactly hired his law firm. Correct us if we are incorrect.
But saying one is hired by Parliament is like saying one is hired by the People of St. Maarten. (How vague can you be....?)
We all know as well - all too well - that that is also incorrect. No People of St. Maarten hired Choharis. School children are telling us who exactly retained the services of Mr. Choharis. But we will not confirm the name mentioned unless we get corroboration.
We can only conclude for the time being that the Parliament of St. Maarten is now stuck with this Choharis law firm. We will be looking forward to the court case when names will be called of who exactly hired this law firm to represent Parliament and the People of St. Maarten because we foresee that indeed, the People of St. Maarten will not be footing the bill when it is sent to Parliament.
