To call St. Maarten a Banana Republic is a gross understatement. They have to invent a new word to describe the foolishness of the Government on this island. In any other Island in the Caribbean even the suspicion of wrong doing would be enough for a Minister to resign. In St. Maarten a Commissioner is actually arrested and held for 9 days and charges are pending against him but yet he is allowed to maintain his function as a Commissioner.
How is this possible you ask? Well in St. Maarten, we have a political party that has the idea that they should remain in power no matter what. So since this entails compromising and in some instances eliminating principles, the island is suffers.
I don't however blame the Commissioner, I blame the leader! It was the leader who after the Commish was arrested went to him only to ask him to resign, not only his Executive Position but also his Elected position. Now after he resigned from the party and shook the Government led by her, he is the best thing since slice bread.
It was this same leader whose slogan was Country above Self, what a joke THAT turned out to be.
