CC: Council of Ministers, Prime Minister of St Maarten, Members of Parliament, Governor of St Maarten and The Tweede Kamer
Bless day Hon. Leona Marlin-Romeo, I would like to first thank you for taking time to allow me to sit in your presence on Nov 2, 2018.
First, I am documenting this letter as a legal document to stand as evidence and as an EXEMPTION to complete the REST ROOM FACILITY WITH GALVANIZE ROOFING at the St Maarten Agricultural Research and Development Center as RESOLVED between The Hon. Prime Minister Leona Marlin-Romeo, Hon. Minister Mikolos Giterson, Mr Denicio Wyatte in WITNESS of Ms Marie Louise, Mr Clifton Wilson and Member of the Prime Ministers Cabinet on Nov 2, 2018 Between 2:45 and 3:30pm at the Prime Ministers Office at the Government Administration Building in Philipsburg St Maarten.
A meeting was scheduled with the sectary of the Prime Minister cabinet for On Nov 2 2018 between myself and Hon. Prime Minister Leona Marlin-Romeo.
During the course of the meeting a number of issue were discussed pertaining to the progress and finalization of documentation for the land where the St Maarten Agricultural Research and Development Center was developed and resides. During the duration of this meeting you took action and additional effort to called out the Minister of VROMI on the spot to attend the sit in and to come with an incentive to allow the Agricultural Center to move forward and get the rest room completed just in time for the tourist season, community activities and educational tours while we await the finalization of our paper work…
After many years of mental strain and injustice to our humanitarian needs, wellbeing and livelihood, being violated constantly by local government especially from within the Ministry of VROMI, it has truly been some challenging times while only trying to cater for our communities and families. You have been one out of many that took time to listen, review and ACT. It didn’t take you a matter of years or months, JUST MINUTES. This shows that there is potential in our leaders and allot can be done by our local government with the right people in the right places, that work in the best interest of the people.
I didn’t agree with the decision of the Minister of VROMI to put a galvanized roof on the restroom area which will cost me more as the structure was already prepared and material were already allotted for the concrete roof! This can also be demonstrated and seen as poor decision making knowing we are in a hurricane venerable region and the financial situation most of us face in these challenging times. Although this is a poor and unwise decision towards building back a more stronger and resilient St Maarten, I accepted because I have to live, survive and try to get my life back together..
At one point you asked if ‘’Wyatte’’ can have something on paper in the mean time, the Minister of VROMI said he is leaving the Island on Nov 3, 2018 and We have his word that I can go ahead and put the temp Galvanize roof until he is able to finalize my paper work which can run all the way into January 2019. I have been faced with dilemmas such as this before where it is also uncertain if government doesn’t fall or change, thus making it once agian a challenge to restart the process with a new minister.
I put full confidence in the words of the Minister of VROMI that there will be NO DISTURBANCES during this process as promised to me, The Prime Minister and other witnesses in the room..
Because of the instability at times in government, I use a public post on my FB Page on Nov 9, 2018 and this official request to the Minister of VROMI and Prime Minister to get the leniency grant / exemption documented as (You) The Prime Minister suggested to avoid any further delays by future ministers that may not understand the full extent and nature of this matter. I am pleased that both you and the Minister of VROMI were able to bring a peace of mind to us, our community, visitors, students, families and country, that there is still hope for Agriculture.
I now understand why you may now be the most hated at the moment in your efforts to work with and alongside the dutch.. I feel it’s because you have a heart and truly want to work in the best interest of our people and this goes against out current government standards …
I just want to say Thank you to the minister of VROMI and a special THANK YOU to Prime Minister Leona Marlin-Romeo. Thank you for making a difference Prime Minister.
”We must remember that no one is promised tomorrow. So once we’re in the right place, at the right time, to do the right thing, then it must mean that we are actually chosen to make a difference Today.” – Wyatte
One Love, let’s keep agricultural awareness up and running for Country St Maarten!
Wishing you much Health, Strength and Blessings,
Mr D. Wyatte
