preguntanan miembro di Staten
sr. Puriel

Referiendo na Bo karta di 6 aprel 2008, nr. 531 V/08-09, enkuantu un karta di.2..
di aDrel 2009 senor ingeniero D.E. Puriel dirigi na mi persona mi por kontesta
10 siguiente:
Ta duel mi ku senor Puriel un biaha mas ta akusa gobierno en general i mi
persona en partikular di falta di respet pa parlamentu, falta di transparensia i di
kier skonde kos pa parlamentu.

Senor Puriel ta husa un lenguahe ku na mi humilde opinion no ta pas pa un

representante di pueblo i senor Puriel atrobe ta hasi akusashonnan infunda.
Niun momentu so ami ni mi gobiernu no ta skonde kos, laga pa nos tuma niun
desishon skondi. Den gobernashon di pais tin sierto desishon ku ta keda tuma i
pone na atenshon di parlamentu riba un base 'vertrouwelijk', teniendo
debidamente kuenta ku loke lei ta stipula. Aki ta trata di kasonan manera por
ehempel datonan di personal, informashon ku por afekta seguridat di estado i
tambe informashon ku por afekta esun konserni pa motibu di kompetensia
ekonomiko.
Den tal kaso gobierno ta duna parlamentu e informashonnan desea bou di
kondishon ku no ta div ' . r ashon aki. Esei no tin apsolutamente nada
i haber ku deseo di gobiernu pa skonde kosI

Den pasado gobiernu di Antia a duna kantidat di permit i a firma kontrato ku

kompanianan pa no solamente nan por tuma nota di investigashonnan hasi
den pasado, manera ta e kaso awor, pero tambe a duna permit i sera kontrato
ku diferente kompania pa e kompanianan aki hasi nan propio investashonnan
den awanan teritorial di Antia i asta pa nan hasi boramentunan den nos
awanan.

E prome kontrato a keda firma 25 di febrOari 1966 pa dr. E. Jonckheer.

Despues a sigui kontratonan firma pa tur prome minister di turno, entre otro
S.G.M. Rozendal, J.M.G Evertsz, ir. D.F. Martina, etc. te ku mr. Etienne Ys i mi
persona.

Adres: Fort Amsterdam 17

Tel.: 5999-463-0404 / Fax.: 461-5077
 Mi ta floho pa kere ku senor Puriel ta di opinion ku tur e prome ministernan aki
a mustra "falta di respet" pa Parlamentu i ku a "skonde kos pa Parlamentu".
Paso meskos ku mi gobiernu ta trata e kontratonan konfidensial, tur mi
antesesornan a trata nan mes konfidensial ku ami ta trata nan awe.

Pa loke ta e preguntanan ku senor Puriel a hasi, mi por kontesta di e siguiente

manera.

Pregunta 1:
Sra. Minister Presidente por konfirma pa Parlamentu ku Gobiemu tin kontrato
i/o akuerdonan firma den kuadro di eksplorashon di gas i petroli den awanan di
Korsou 6f ku pa nan kontenido tin relashon (in)direkto ku e asuntu aki?

Kontesta riba pregunta 1:

Gobiernu tin diferente kontrato i/o akuerdonan (di awor en adelante: kontrato)
firma ku tin relashon (in)direkto ku eksplorashon di gas i petroli (di awor en
adelante: petroli) den awanan di Antia rondo di K6rsou.

Pa prome tin e kontrato firma ku University of Texas, ku ampliamente a keda

trata den diferente reunion di Parlamentu i ku Staten ya ta dispone di dje. Ta
trata aki di partisipashon di Antia na un investigashon amplio i di mas ana den
henter nos region.
Aparte di un obligashon finansiero, ku tambe ta konosi pa Parlamentu,
resultado di e investigashonnan aki no por keda divulga na terser partido. E
kontrato ta firma pa Prome Minister a base di un apoderashon di Konseho di
Minister, manera lei ta preskribi.
Motibu pa partisipa na e estudio aki ta pa hana datos ku por duna mas bista
riba posibel presensia di petroli den nos awanan teritorial.

Aparte di esun kontrato aki, tambe tin tres otro kontrato, firma ku tres diferente
kompania petrolero jnternashonal. E kontralonan ku gobiernu a sera ku nan ta
r duna e kompanianan en kestion solamente derecho pa tuma nota di e datonan

di investigashonnan ku a yega di hasi den pasado den awanan di Antia rondo

di K6rsou i ku ta propiedat di gobiernu. E kompanianan en kestion na nan turno
ta kompromete nan mes pa no divulga e datonan aki na terser partido.

E tres kontratonan aki a keda firma pa mi antesesor komo prome minister sr.
Etienne Ys. Dos kompania a pidi pa alarga e kontrato sera ku nan i esaki ami a
firma komo prome minister. Meskos ku ta e kaso ku e kontrato menshona ariba
mi a firma e "verlenging' aki konforme di lei i a base di un apoderashon di
konseho di minister.

Motibu pa sera e kontratonan aki ta pa duna kompanianan interesa aseso na

datos ku por yuda na toma di desishon enkuantu un posibel eksplorashon mas
ekstenso, kual eksplorashon mester di permit di gobiernu.

,~. { Gustosamente mi ta ofrese e kontratonan en kestion na Parlementu kitando e

\ ,"tI n6mbernan di e kompanianan. E n6mbernan ,gobiernu por duna Parlamentu
r:t'"
~Q'~

f{.

\t..~
"ter vertrouwelijke kennisname'. Esaki wetando ku den mundu petrolero pa
motibu di kompetensia no ta kustumber pa divulga n6mber di kompania den
estado asina preliminar di investigashon. 1
Pregunta 2:
Si e kontesta ta negativo, kiko sra. Prome Minister tabata ke men e ora ei ku e
kontesta afirmativo ku senora a duna riba e pregunta en kestion ku e honorabel
miembro di Parlamentu, sr. Rignaal Francisca MBA, a hasi den e reunion di
komishon sentral di 28 di ougustus ultimo?

Pregunta 3:
Si e kontesta riba pregunta number 1 ta afirmativo, ta ku kua organisashonnan
tin kontrato Vo akuerclonan firma? E organisashonnan aki ta lokal 6f
intemashonal? Sra. Prome Minister por duna algun detaye i e profil di e
organisashonnan aki?

Pregunta 4:
Sra. Prome Minister por informa Parlamentu ta kiko ta e ophetivo di kada un di
e kontrato i akuerclonan aki? Ki ta e obligashonnan di Gobiemu pa ku kada un
di e kontrato Vo akuerclonan firma aki?

Pregunta 5:
Sra. Prome Minister por informa Parlamentu ta ken, ki dia i den kua kalidat, na
nomber di gobiemu, a firma kada un di e kontrato i/o akuerdonan aki?

Pregunta 6:
Kiko tabata e motibunan formal i e base legal ku a usa pa firma e kontrato i/o
akuerdonan aki?

Pregunta 7:
Parlamentu por risibi kopie di tur e kontrato i akuerdonan firma aki?

Kama di mi parti mi no tin ningun motibu di no mustra Parlamentu e respet ku e

merese, mi ta laga tur insinuashon sin base i denigrante di senor Puriel pa lake
