Philipsburg:--- The Democratic Party has submitted a letter to the chairman of the Central Committee requesting meeting on September 7 requesting a central committee meeting. The meeting is to deal several laws that were drafted by the former executive council. Island councilman Roy Marlin a signatory to the letter said the laws include the codes of conduct for civil servants and political functionaries, the establishing of an ombudsman, the electoral law and the registration and financing of political parties. A second letter was sent to the chairman on Tuesday where the DP faction has requested that another agenda point be added to that meeting which is the appointment of members to the monument council.
According to Marlin, these laws were drafted and were ratified by the island council as in keeping with the agreement with the Kingdom on good governance.
