WILLEMSTAD – Alleged misconduct at Kas di Kòrsou, also known as the Curaçao House, has formally become the subject of parliamentary scrutiny. Member of Parliament Sheldry Osepa of the Partido Nashonal di Pueblo (PNP) has submitted written questions to Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas regarding reports of pressure, intimidation and an unsafe working environment within the organization.
In his questions, Osepa asks the government to clarify how the Prime Minister assesses the reported situation and which steps are being considered to protect employees from possible reprisals. He is also seeking information on whether concrete measures are being taken to safeguard the legal position and well-being of staff members.
The questions were prompted by public reporting and statements from an employee of Kas di Kòrsou, who spoke out about experiences of pressure, intimidation and an unsafe workplace atmosphere. According to Osepa, these signals raise serious concerns that warrant political and administrative attention.
The move follows earlier calls from opposition party PAR, which previously urged the cabinet to intervene in labor disputes at the Curaçaohuis. Earlier this month, PAR publicly called on the Prime Minister to take action in response to reports of labor-related problems at the government institution, emphasizing the need for calm, clear working arrangements and protection for personnel.
Osepa now wants to know not only whether the cabinet has responded to those earlier appeals, but also what concrete actions are being taken to address the current situation. His questions also focus on whether the government is investigating if earlier complaints point to deeper, structural issues within the organization and how such issues might be resolved.
By formally submitting the questions in Parliament, the matter has moved beyond internal discussions and media attention to the political arena. The Prime Minister is required to provide written answers within the statutory timeframe, after which further parliamentary debate may follow.
