The proof is adding up
Dear Editor,
Again more proof why we need to get rid of the old and in with a complete new breed of politicians to govern St. Maarten.
I continue to say that fairness should prevail. Here again we are reading about what in St. Martinees we call “spite work.” Two wrongs do not make a right.
Romans 12:19, I Peter 3:9 and Deuteronomy 32:35 are among the many books in the Bible which deal with revenge or vengeance and all of them remind us that it is of God.
The public transportation is a mess (yes, any time people in government publicly accept that it is difficult to fix it, that means it is a mess) part for the greatest because some of those bogus Ministers of the past seven plus years, whether out of greed, self preservance or vengeance decided to issue bus and taxi licenses to any and everybody as if they were going out of style And today they are asking the people to permit them to make a fool of the people again.
We know who was involved in the ring road and who had manufactured government land for their own convenience. We also know who is awaiting his chance to get back at the government. But instead of others going in there and making sure that the right thing can be done they retaliated in a revengeful way by giving out land similar to how bus and taxi licenses were given out. The Minister involved openly admitted that he did it and why he did it.
Whether or not it was done according to procedures does not matter, but he too is asking for the people to put him back in government so that he could do the same thing again. Is not that blatant disrespect for the voters of St. Maarten? Does he really believe he deserves our vote?
All of this is totally not in the interest of the people of St. Maarten but solely in the interest of a chosen few. I will repeat, the SMCP was never in government, but have capable young people. If the people give them four seats St. Maarten will be on its way to be saved and respected again.
