WILLEMSTAD – PAR Member of Parliament Quincy Girigorie has formally reminded Parliament President Fergino Brownbill of a pending request to convene an urgent public meeting regarding ongoing issues at Kas di Kòrsou and the Office of the Minister Plenipotentiary.
In a letter dated February 10, 2026, Girigorie refers to an earlier request submitted on January 15 by Members of Parliament Elhage, McWilliam, Camelia Römer, Larmonie and himself. The lawmakers had called for an urgent public debate to address what they describe as serious public concerns surrounding the management of Kas di Kòrsou and the role of the Minister Plenipotentiary.
Although former Minister Plenipotentiary Carlson Manuel has since stepped down, Girigorie argues that the matter remains both urgent and relevant. He points to ongoing complaints from staff members who have reportedly raised concerns publicly about workplace mistreatment that allegedly continued even after the minister’s departure.
According to the letter, more than four weeks have passed without a date being set for the requested meeting, despite the provisions of Parliament’s Rules of Order. Girigorie notes what he describes as a “remarkable delay” in addressing requests related to Kas di Kòrsou.
He further states that, while there is public criticism suggesting that Parliament is slow to respond to “our problems,” the frustration among workers continues to grow. Girigorie warns that the situation risks damaging the reputation of the Curaçao community abroad if concerns are not addressed transparently and decisively.
In his letter, the PAR lawmaker urges Brownbill to convene the public meeting as soon as possible so that Parliament can fulfill its responsibility, provide clarity, and offer direction on the matter.
Girigorie concludes by requesting a prompt response and reiterates the importance of ensuring that Parliament addresses the issue without further delay.
