Philipsburg: --- Former Assistant Chief Commissioner of Police Richard Panneflek who is now working for the island government as an advisor is expected to discuss his status with the Minister of Justice David Dick who is on the island for a two day visit. Pannflek who requested to leave the KPSSS and be at the disposal of the island government is seeking to have his Lands Besluit which the Minister has not issued.
Roland Ignacio of the ABVO said they already had some discussions on the issue of Panneflek. He said the ABVO indicated to the Minister that he should live up to their agreement. He said Panneflek should be meeting with the Minister while he is here and is expected to inform them on the outcome of the discussions. Ignacio said if the Minister does not live up to the agreement he has with Panneflek they would have to intervene and hold talks with the Minister. He said they have no intention to mobilize their members because Panneflek had an agreement directly with the Minister. Ignacio said since Panneflek is one of their members they would be looking out for his best interest which does not necessarily mean they would have to mobilize their members. He said the union will be taking administrative actions and if needs be they would be taking legal actions against the Minister of Justice.
