Gumbs submitted his letter to general affairs on January 25th 2010. He also requested that the executive council reinstate him to his former position as project manager at the department of New Projects and Beheerdienst with the same legal position prior to his departure in April 2009.
The letter was sent to the executive council and copied to Commissioner Theo Heyliger.
SMN News managed to retrieve a copy of a memo Gumbs sent to the director of ROB Mr. Joseph Dollison on August 31 2009 informing him that he would not be signing the permits for Olzina N.V. belonging to Samir Andreos. According to the memo, Gumbs said he would not sign the advice and suggested, "All departments shall sign this advice including inspections since they are so aware of the circumstances surrounding the project. The person who was head of VROM or who now represented at the time shall be the one to sign this advice."
SMN News also learnt that Gumbs was under constant pressure from the director of ROB to sign off advices that did not meet the legal requirements and as such, he has decided to remove himself now that an official investigation has started at ROB.
SMN News also learnt that the director of ROB Mr. Joseph Dollison has submitted a letter saying he is currently ill and would not be reporting to work, while his subordinate Claudius Buncamper is currently off island. For the sake of clarity we at SMN News have decided to publish the memo Gumbs sent to Dollison pertaining Olzina N.V.
