WILLEMSTAD - The coalition party PNP says it has found a new candidate for Minister of Economic Development on its own list. The party announced this today.
The PNP previously nominated Ramon Chong, who ultimately had to relinquish the ministerial position because he did not pass the screening process due to legal problems in the past. Tomorrow the PNP will announce which party member they have presented for the screening. Party leader Ruthmilda Larmonie-Cecilia is currently also responsible for the Economic Development portfolio, in addition to her own Ministry of Social Development, Labor and Welfare (SOAW).
