WILLEMSTAD - Edmiro Anita will not return to the Fire Department. The fire chief is honorably discharged after 31 years of service to the institution. This was decided by the judge this week. Anita sued the government but lost.
The head of the fire service had to resign due to a conflict of interest. According to a report, Anita worked with his son's security company that offers a total package in the field of fire safety. The son’s company was involved in all major projects. Anita was allowed to remain in government service, but he declined a previously offered transfer. He also did not accept the offer for an early retirement.
In a short reaction, Anita says that he disagrees with the ruling and will appeal.
