theobuncamper31032010Philipsburg: --- The executive council has taken a decision in their weekly meeting on Tuesday to suspend the director of sector ROB Joseph Dollison and head of maintenance Claudius Buncamper pending reassignment. SMN News has been reliably informed that commissioner of Public Works Theo Heyliger voted against the decision.

According to information, reaching SMN News is that Heyliger believes the council should disregard the SOAB report, which was issued in November 2009. Reliable information reaching SMN News states that the council took the decision some three weeks ago but they placed it on hold so that the commissioner in charge of ROB Theo Heyliger would discuss the decision taken by the council with the two civil servants.

It is understood that Heyliger told the council last week that he was working on a solution, which would have been ready, by Tuesday this week. The source said Heyliger showed up at the meeting on Tuesday with an email that was sent to him by Joseph Dollison outlining the position he wants at sector ROB. SMN News further learnt that at that point the council decided to suspend both Dollison and Buncamper pending reassignment.

The source said the intention of the executive council is find an interim management who would then take over from the current sector heads. "When the interim management is found then both Dollison and Buncamper would have to stay home with pay until a suitable position is found for them," the source said.

Some of the concerns of the council SMN News learnt is the amount of time it takes to process building and other permits, while the several large investors such as Duck International, Olzina NV, Ama Jewelers have decided to take government to court for negligence committed by ROB under the management of Dollison and Buncamper.

Now the party going to start. The EXCO wanted to go this route long time ago, but Heyliger stalled. The council had to make a decision. Even if there's an ounce of wrong doing or incompetance, it should be handle professionally and suspensions should be instituted until all this hoopla is investigated further. How can Mr JD come forward with demands of a position suitable to him, this is crazy., again that's if the story above is true.
The only way we are going to get to the bottom of this whole fiasco is for the heads to be away from the department and the department thoroughly investigated. The Lt govenor said that the SOAB doc is with the prosecution department. That's not hearsay, it seems to be a fact.
Let's take it further to the top, because the executive council should also bare some responsibility, they are the top managers of the island. At the same time we have to realize the immense power that the top civil sevants have in our system, they run sh..

Been writing and calling for a full investigation and reformation of these departments for years, and there is TO trying tp protect his f"friends' who probably have more than a few things on him These two are what we can politely call scoundrels, and not so politely call much worse.
A FULL investigation is required to get to the bottom of all the things the SOAB suspected and found evidence of to determine the real truth.
Suspended with pay till a new job is found for them??? If a full investigation is done the island could well dump these two off it's payroll permanently!

How in the world can Dollison decide what position he is going to get in the mean time. Is theo involved with some the illegal actiivities which took place in the department?. Both Dollison and Buncamper should be sent home untill Government finds a position for them, and with immediate affect. I see that St. Maarten will never ever become a country where everyone is treated equal. Who you are, Who you know is how far you get on this island. Foreigners prosper in St. Maarten more than a local st. martiner. Guyanese help their people, chinese help their people, inidans help their people and so on. But St. Maarten helps chinese, indians, guyanese and so on except a local antillean, unless they are getting something back in return. Even the woman propers more than a local antillean woman. They even prefer to take care of a foreign woman than their own kind.

How much more bullcrap will be talked about Dollyboy and Bunscampy, pack them up and send them home without pay. If Government wants to pay people who are not working then we have a major problem on our hands. If they so wants to pay, pay people that is out of a job or looking for job and not finding one. In the real world ( St Maarten ) where our born Antillians have to go to work on a six months contract and in the end, terminated along with a thank you bonus. Government should step in and tell these contract workers, hey look we are going to pay you until you get another six months contract. Do not give those comfort words to Dollyboy and Bunscampy, they already have it made. National Alliance watch your back. Where is Theo ?

You people are so out for blood (or rather the destruction of others you hate) that you will soon be kicked so high up your rear ends and it won't be an April "fools" day joke.

From the Herald:
"The commission that was appointed by the Executive Council reportedly has advised the council that there are no credible grounds upon which it can base disciplinary measures against Director of ROB Sector Joseph Dollison and Claudius Buncamper who deputises in Dollison's absence.

Although the SOAB report mentions several shortcomings at the department and recommended that Dollison and Buncamper be removed from their posts, the committee reportedly claims that SOAB itself undermined its findings by stating the accuracy of its findings could not be verified and thus not relied upon".

Which EXCO appointed this commission?

How many locals knew about this?????? Who and how will you qualify????? How many locals were there at 9 a.m. this morning to "GRAB"?????

"LAND GRAB" at ring road today
The various available parcels of 30 by 30 metres will be marked out just before the action, so there can be no dispute once the first stake has been placed within the respective boundaries. The name of the "applicant" on a piece of paper or cloth must be attached or tied to each stake.

Only one candidate per existing household will be accepted and all who are interested must bring along their valid ID-card to participate. The conditions for the long lease will be the usual, favourable ones applied for land to build private homes.

I am sorry but THIS Government has some strange ways of doing things.

You already have seen the handwriting coming in the next election, this is not the time when you shined as a member of the Disgraced People. you can no longer shine and will have to contend that others also has access to money to run head on against you. So rethink your last days in a Government seat. You usually hides when come to controversial votes, how come you are present now?

Hi TO,

remove all dry bushes and lumber from around your yard and install a water-sprinkler to keep your roof constantly wet.
Because it is really dry these days and fires have a nasty tendency to spread real fast, especially when the wind starts picking up speed.
Before U kno TO your nice suits all on fire and you might have to look for shelter with Dolliby and Bunscampy in the cabooz.

You are seeing it as it is. That is the mentality here and it will NEVER, EVER change.

Everyone else can come in, do as they please, and we shut our mouth. But God forbid that a local gets a certain position, right away he/she is the biggest crook out there.

Lol. Not to worry. If they all go ain't no one going to touch them as long as Bunky is there with them. Tell me who will dare to try and jump Bunky if he drops the soap? Nah, they o.k.

It is all them others who have to worry, all those who shouting lock them up. This a very interesting case and I am curious to see what the outcome is going to be.

Bunky and Dollison have done nothing wrong in my view. I am sure that if they obtained anything in aaaaaaaaall those years they working there they did it in a legal manner and have all their documents to back them up or there would be no doubt about the SOAB report. Their only crime is that they stood in the way of those others who wanted to wrongfully gain what they felt their bosses had.

People work to upgrade themselves and I do not see why they should be any different. We (especially black people) MUST stop hating everyone who make it in life just because we cannot make it. We squander what we have and hate those who use their heads to uplift themselves. Look at them and learn from them and do as they do.

The report never "accused" them of corruption and stealing from any public coffers. It suggested to have them removed from their positions. Could it be due to their lack of being disciplinarians ... hhhmmm, I wonder???
Some people just see the corner a man pa*ses and makes a whole suit. Read the report and then say that they are being accused. Let the prosecutor go after them if they are accused of criminal activities.

I indeed would rather have a local (not only black) enrich themselves than to have all sorts come in do so, which always seem to be o.k. with many of those with the still "slave mentality". The Dutch come an do as he pleases ... no one says anything.

Anyhow, let the prosecutor be the one to accuse .... if there are any grounds for such.

I clearly read what you wrote but "foolishly" a*sumed that you were an intelligent person who does not listen to gossip and that you were referring to "facts" written in the report.

No need for me to comment further on your post since I now see that you are just one of the many "blood thirsty" gossipers wanting to bring down anything local or NONE NA. Read again pls. I never said that any Dutch got away with corruption but again your slave mentality and limited knowledge of our Island's history would really have you not recollect anything negative any Dutch has ever done on this Island.
