WILLEMSTAD - The Ombudsman may expand his field of activity. Complaints from citizens about the Central Bank of Curaçao and St. Maarten, the Social Insurance Bank (SVB) and the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) can also be submitted and investigated. Parliament voted on this yesterday.
The Ombudsman has previously indicated that the government must take the institute seriously. This is not the case, he says, because the government hardly takes any action on the recommendations of the Ombudsman.
