Philipsburg:--- The ousted Minister of Labor and Health Maria Buncamper Molanus has submitted an application for the position as Director of the SZV. SMN News has been reliably informed that 30 persons applied for the coveted post.Sources say the vetting of the applications which includes the interviewing process is scheduled to be finalized by October this year.
The source said when the vetting is completed it will be sent to the Supervisory board so they can select the candidate that they believe should be appointed. The final selection and appointment will then be sent to the current Minister of Labor and Health Cornelius De Weever for approval.
Maria Buncamper Molanus during her tenure as Commissioner of Health worked on the National Health Insurance Plan which she said was to be implemented in January 2010, if she was in government.
However, sources say that the National Health Insurance Plan is far from ready. Buncamper Molanus took office as Minister of Health in October 2010 and made her position available to the Democratic Party on December 23rd 2010 to escape a motion of no confidence when the scandal surrounding the selling of the economic rights of lease land broke.
A complaint was filed with the Prosecutor's Office who said that they will be investigating the Buncamper Molanus case.
Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos said his office conducted a fact finding investigation surrounding the notary deed and all other information that was printed in the various newspapers. Mos said the attorney general gave his office the green light to conduct the fact finding as well as to launch an official investigation into the case but the Prosecutor's Office is hampered by the lack of human resources. Mos said the Buncamper Molanus case will be investigated but that investigation has not yet begun.
