Nevertheless, the company now receives 4.8 million guilders, because the Ministry of Health made that decision and says it is satisfied with the work of the waste processor.

The Ministry of Finance disagrees. For example, the agreement that Selikor must thoroughly clean twenty residential areas per month has not been fulfilled. Five neighborhoods are missing from Selikor’s list, which were prioritized by the Ministry of Health.

The Ministry of Health could also take on the task of involving the community more in the process, by offering the opportunity to post photos and testimonials on the Ministry’s webpage/Facebook.

Accountability 

 

The Ministry of Finance notes that Selikor is apparently not used to extensive accountability. This can be seen in the late submission of the audited annual reports and the so-called management reports that are not submitted in full.

The management reports must at least include the progress of the activity plan, including any corrective measures to achieve the objectives and/or catch up on backlogs.

The Ministry of Finance is convinced that these types of audit processes will stimulate a culture change within Selikor, whereby the company will be proactively accountable to its stakeholders, including in the first place the Curaçao community.

In order to qualify for the third tranche of liquidity support, Selikor must meet all the conditions set, Finance warns. Furthermore, Selikor must account for the expenditure of the second tranche. The Ministry of Health and the Environment must ensure that the inspection of the performance of the work by Selikor takes place in good time so that any necessary adjustments can be made in time.
