WILLEMSTAD – The Curaçao Parliament’s Central Committee has continued its consideration of a proposed Kingdom Act establishing rules for extradition involving Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, with no MPs registering to speak or submit questions during the latest round.
The Central Committee resumed its meeting on Wednesday, October 7, after the session had been suspended on August 24.
Under the chairmanship of Parliament President Fergino Brownbill, the committee proceeded with the second agenda item, the proposed “Kingdom Act on Extradition for Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten.”
MPs were given an opportunity to ask questions during a single round. However, because no members registered to speak, Brownbill proposed issuing a blank report on the proposed Kingdom legislation, indicating that no questions or comments were submitted at this stage of the parliamentary process.
The Central Committee also considered several other matters and approved proposals for parliamentary travel to the Netherlands for InterExpo 2026, scheduled for December 8 through 10, and to Sint Maarten for the Interparliamentary Kingdom Consultation (IPKO), scheduled for January 13 through 15, 2027.
Parliament also agreed on a deadline for MPs to submit questions and comments for the report concerning the draft national ordinance establishing Curaçao’s 2027 national budget.
Several parliamentary committees were also approved. These include a temporary committee to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Curaçao Parliament, a Temporary Recognition Award Committee and a permanent General Affairs Committee.
Parliament additionally approved the establishment of a Temporary Decolonization Committee.
Brownbill closed the Central Committee meeting after the proposals and agenda items had been addressed.
