member of the Democratic Party former commissioner of Finance Mr. Roy Marlin. Pantophlet said Marlin said on a radio broadcast that commissioner Xavier Blackman is not managing the Finances of this country in a good manner, and that they are coming with a motion for his dismissal. But he Marlin has failed to mention that for almost 10 years the budgets for the island territory of St. Maarten was never balanced. Marlin also failed to mention that during the debate on the 2008 Budget he stated that the accounts receivables were in excess of 1 billion guilders; he also failed to tell the people of St. Maarten of the 107 million guilders deficit.
The former finance commissioner also failed to mention the report of the General Auditing Chamber in which it states that Financial accounts were in such a deplorable condition that they just decided to overlook some of them and therefore they were never approved. Marlin also failed to mention a statement in one of our daily newspapers by the State Secretary of Kingdom Relations Ank Bijeveld-Schouten who because of the mismanagement of the former Democratic Party government finance commissioners said that the people of St. Maarten don't like good governance and Balanced Budgets. Now that we are trying to clean the mess they have left behind he wants to remove a qualified and capable commissioner. Pantophlet said the longer the National Alliance remain in government the more discoveries will be made of the mismanagement of the former Democratic Party government. And finally Councilman Roy Marlin the Democratic Party should be the last to talk about the ill treatment civil servants because the Democratic Party wrote the book the senator said.
