Already Will Johnson a member of the supervisory board said that he was not in favor of what the board had intended to do. Even though there was not definite date then it is said the board is now closer to executing its plans which has been in the pipelines for sometime now.
SMN News also understands that the supervisory board already sent Brooks several warning letters, one such letter was delivered when he increased fuel clause without the board's permission. It is said it is the former managing director Julius Lambert was the one to find this discrepancy when he was appointed chairman of the supervisory board. Other contentions include the disappearance of Brooks each time there is a crisis within the company. Other sources say that the board as well as employees also has a problem with the man's character.
However it is understood that Brooks wants more monies and he intends to challenge the supervisory board in the legal system. "Should this happen the board of GEBE would have no other choice but to put Brooks's dirty laundry outside." The source said that they have been hearing that Brooks was to be dismissed since last year but he managed to survive the year. Some two weeks ago one board member of GEBE spoke out against the intentions of the supervisory board saying he was not in support of the board's intentions instead he felt that there is a lot of injustice against Brooks.
That dirty laundry includes bad spending of the company's money which had to be re-reimbursed and his so-call trip overseas when the utility company ran out of fuel last year December sending the island in total darkness for over 20 hours.
Brooks also made headlines when he refused to pay its workers their 5% increase in salary plus their cost of living adjustments all of which is outlined in the Collective Labor Agreement. The company also has to pay the workers 5% each year they did not produce the appraisal for the workers.
The sources also said that Island Councilman and Senator Frans Richardson who is presently in Curacao would be coming to Brooks's defense. SMN News contacted Richardson for a statement and he said that he intends to make a statement later in the week when he obtains more information on the matter.
