Philipsburg: --- The investigations conducted by SOAB at the Public Works Department made several suggestions as to how the executive council should proceed with the change of management at ROB. However, months after the reports was issued and copies sent to the Prosecutors Office to date ROB commissioner Theo Heyliger has not taken any action as suggested by SOAB.
SMN News learnt that Heyliger did not want to entertain any discussion on the topic with the other members of the executive council even though a decision was taken by the council to remove both the director and his immediate subordinate. According to the SOAB the executive council should hire an interim manager to manage ROB since several rules and regulations at the department was not upheld.
SMN News learnt that at least two of the commissioners have expressed their concern as to how to handle the other staff that is equally responsible for the gross mismanagement. Sources say that the two commissioners made clear that an assessment must be conducted on all sector heads namely head of domain affairs, inspections, maintenance and on the director and if necessary sanctions must be given to each one.
According to reliable sources, the two top heads of ROB are being questioned by law enforcement but the prosecutor's office remains tightlipped on the ongoing investigations.
Below is the full report that was delivered on November 12 to the chairman of the island and executive council Franklyn Richards.
