Frente Sivíl to submit integrity file to Asjes

~ 'Three cabinet members unfit to be minister' ~

WILLEMSTAD--On behalf of pressure-group umbrella organisation Frente Sivíl, Onny Gonet is to submit documents to President of Parliament Ivar Asjes today, Monday, to prove that at least three members of the Schotte cabinet are not fit to be ministers.

Frente Sivíl is taking this initiative after none of the 21 Members of Parliament (MPs) put their weight behind the organisation's motion calling for government to be sent home.

According to spokesman Ruben Suriel, the meeting, which is planned for 8:45am, is in reaction to what transpired in Parliament, on March 7. Pressure group Akshon Dushi Kòrsou held a presentation that day and requested Parliament to launch an investigation into the integrity of members of the Schotte cabinet.

A majority in Parliament opposed the idea and several MPs accused the pressure group of making unfounded allegations against cabinet members. The reproach was reason for Frente Sivíl, of which Akshon Dushi Kòrsou is a part, to collect data about the wheeling and dealing of members of the Schotte cabinet.

According to Suriel, facts have recently been collected about Prime Minister Gerrit Schotte and his MFK party members Finance Minister George "Jorge" Jamaloodin and Minister of Economic Development Abdul Nasser El Hakim.

It involves courts verdicts in which the prime minister was involved, among other things.

Suriel was quick to state that Frente Sivíl would not present this information as evidence. "It involves information which has been made public recently. We want the ministers concerned to indicate whether the information we have obtained is correct or not," Suriel said Saturday morning.

The documents that will be handed over to Asjes are supposed to increase pressure on Parliament to pay serious attention to the integrity issue, Suriel stated.

The documents will also be sent to MPs. It will be up to them to have this information studied and verified.

Frente Sivíl is to reveal the contents of the dossier, during a public meeting to be held during the course of the week. The action group wants to increase pressure even further, should Parliament decide to do nothing with these documents. A large-scale protest demonstration has been scheduled for the end of April, for which Frente Sivíl wants to mobilise between 15,000 and 20,000 protesters.

The demonstration aims to deliver a strong message to government and Parliament, indicating that a large part of the community is in favour of new elections.
