AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Overseas Allowances Probe: Dutch Defense found an error in the purchasing-power index used for overseas allowances, leading to Curaçao and Sint Maarten personnel being overpaid in late 2025 after questions from Aruba and Bonaire. Transparency Request: A Dutch Open Government Act (Woo) filing triggered a search that turned up 38 documents tied to the allowance calculations, with Defense saying relevant material was already shared during processing. EU Funding Push: The Netherlands is urging Curaçao and other Dutch Caribbean territories to submit projects for EU support, especially in energy, digital, maritime connectivity, and waste management, while also pressing for easier access to EU funding. Integrity & Justice: Aruba’s Bureau for Integrity certified new Integrity Trust Persons and Internal Investigators, while Curaçao hosts Kingdom justice talks focused on drugs, detention conditions, youth crime, and staffing gaps. Public Finance Controversy: Opposition claims Education Minister Gerlien Croes signed a “luxury” youth support contract for political ally Misha Raymond at Afl. 13,423 per month, renewing scrutiny of procurement and spending. Tourism Direction: AHATA and Parliament’s Tourism Committee are pushing for a tourism strategy that prioritizes community well-being and nature, not just visitor numbers. Local Governance & Services: Oranjestad tests a new street-cleaning pilot using a sweeper/steam approach; separate reports highlight beach cleanliness and community maintenance efforts like the expanded Rodgers Beach ramp.
