PHILIPSBURG--The controversy surrounding the termination of the contract of now former Head of Finance Bastiaan "Bas" Roorda continues with his attorney Maarten Le Poole preparing to file today, Tuesday, for a witness hearing.
Le Poole told The Daily Herald that the letter he had sent to government on behalf of Roorda seeking his reinstatement had Monday as the deadline to provide clear answers about why the contract had been terminated.
"In the letter to Roorda, it was stated that it had to do with breach of confidentiality and then today [Monday-Ed.] there is an article saying it was because of insubordination. It makes no sense anymore," Le Poole said.
His aim with the witness hearing is to get to the bottom of why Roorda was fired, because the state of affairs now is "one big mess."
At the hearing, if granted, Le Poole wants to talk to all of the people who were present in the March 28 Council of Ministers meeting in which Roorda was interviewed and the people responsible for drafting the letter.
The attorney said several people had stated that the dismissal had nothing to do with Roorda filing a complaint with the Prosecutor's Office about possible embezzlement at St. Maarten Tourist Bureau, but the reasons are yet to be given.
Speaking about his client, Le Poole said, "Roorda is confused about the whole situation."
