drs. Gracita Arrindell

President of Parliament

Wilhelmina Straat #1

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

March 7, 2014

Dear Madam President,

The Undersigned George Pantophlet Member of Parliament through you would like to submit the following questions to Minister Maurice Lake in charge of VROMI.

During the meeting on the purchase of Emilio Wilson Estate some questions were posed and a specific letter requested to which an answer was not given and the letter not provided to me. However the Members of Parliament supporting the government already have said letter in their possession. Today March 7, I asked the Secretary General for a copy of the letter and was told that the Minister had not provided to him as yet. In view of this the questions are being posed again in written form in accordance with article 63.2 of the Constitution of St. Maarten.

 

Can the Members of Parliament of the Faction of the National Alliance be provided with a copy of the letter which was quoted by Minister Maurice Lake during the meeting of Thursday on the purchasing of the Emilio Wilson Estate?

Who are the principles or stakeholders of Rain Forest Adventures St. Maarten N.V. (Business License, Chamber Registration etc)?

Which Minister was in office when a building and monument permit was issued to Rainforest St. Maarten?

What expenditures did rainforest make for which they are claiming compensation?

Who are the three or four companies or individuals the Minister said will be taking government to courts?

Was the legal advisers of the then Minister of VROMI involved in the drafting of the agreement?

Was the Minister Maurice Lake able to get his staff to park their vehicles in the government parking lot during the weekend as he promised?

Please provide Parliament or the Members of the Faction of the National Alliance with copies of letters quoted by Member of Parliament Romain Laville during his discourse in the meeting on the purchase of the Emilio Wilson Estate? Specifically letters dated February 15, 2010, July 16, 2012, July 20, 2012 and June 3 2013?

Respectfully
