SMN News learnt that Veen also informed the board of CKC via email on Monday that he will not be attending the parliamentary hearing called by the members of the United Peoples Party and the Democratic Party as the trustee has not received any summons by parliament to attend the meeting. Veen also advised Brison that the parliament of St. Maarten should have known the company was declared bankrupt and when such proceedings is underway the boards or executive body of entity can no longer represent the company.
It should be noted that this is the first meeting members of parliament supporting government have called. The request for the meeting was signed by parliamentarians Romain Laville, Patrick Illidge and Roy Marlin.
SMN News learnt that Brison took the letter he received from parliament to the trustee, while he also sent an email to the trustee informing him of a phone call he received from the secretary general of parliament about the meeting.
Parliament requested a meeting to hear from the board of the Christian Kingdom Cooperative (CKC) when the Central Bank filed for bankruptcy on behalf of CKC. CKC also filed a counter suit against Central Bank for the lack of an insurance policy to protect the investors.
It also appears that parliament has overstepped its authority when they decided to call CKC a private entity to parliament without establishing a committee to investigate the entity or establishment they intend to question.
