On Thursday, May 10, 2012, Prime Minister Hon. Sarah Wescot-Williams met with the Progress Monitoring Committee chaired by Bandell. Sint Maarten’s representative on the committee is Richard Gibson Sr.
The progress committee was established by Kingdom partners to monitor the progress of several government departments with respect to building up their human resources and work processes and procedures.
Each department has to prepare quarterly progress reports, which are then reviewed by the aforementioned committee, who in turn advices the Dutch Minister of Interior and Kingdom Affairs and Sint Maarten’s Prime Minister, after which the latter two have consultations.
