The Minister of Justice would like to react on an article that appeared today in the Sint Maarten (electronic) media with the headline:
"Panneflek Placed to the Disposition of Island Government for One More Year—Plans to Contest Minister’s Decision."
The Minister of Justice Magali Jacoba would like to make a clarification on the published statement, rectifying that:
After several discussions with Mr. Panneflek to reach to an accord regarding his position, an agreement was reached on October 7th 2009. Said agreement, was formalized according to the normal procedures that Government requires. All decisions related to Mr. Panneflek were taken together with him, on the same table we all sat and shared.
