~Screening Process Crucial for St. Maarten's Future Growth~
PHILIPSBURG:--- MP Sjamira Roseburg, a URSM candidate in the upcoming Parliament election, has strongly endorsed the Integrity Chamber's recent advice on ministerial screening. Roseburg highlights the vital importance of integrity and transparency in government.
Integrity and anti-corruption have been the core of Roseburg's political mission from the start. She stresses that the role of a minister is one of immense responsibility, and those leading our country must be held to the highest ethical standards. The Integrity Chamber provides a clear roadmap for strengthening this process, ensuring only individuals of impeccable character are appointed. "We need to act now," Roseburg urges.
Roseburg further emphasizes that political parties play a crucial role in the pre-screening phase, ensuring only the most suitable candidates are nominated. URSM leads by example, screening candidates beforehand, but Roseburg insists this process must be legislated, not left to chance.
Transparency and accountability must be at the heart of the screening process. Roseburg calls on the government and Parliament to swiftly implement the Integrity Chamber's recommendations. “This is a critical step towards a stronger, more transparent, and accountable government for St. Maarten," she asserts.
In her closing remarks, Roseburg issues a call to action: "When re-elected, I will bring this law to Parliament. It's unacceptable that after 14 years, this has not been addressed. Wake up, people. Elect leaders committed to real change, not those protecting their personal interests." Country above self .
