Cabinet of the Governor

The Cabinet of the Governor is, after the Directors and the Island Secretary, the final place where advices and proposals to the Executive Council are evaluated in accordance with the prevailing rules and agreements. The signature of the one responsible is important, but not a decisive factor. The attention in particular is focused on:

  • the prevention of political ad hoc decision-making;
  • the necessity to maintain the budget as a steering instrument against the background of an adequate multi-annual policy planning and an multi-annual budget;
  • the resurgence of budgetary discipline and the optimizing of the tax collection. Many of these responsibilities and competencies of the office of the governor are related to the chairmanship of the Executive Council and the Island Council.  The remaining competencies (such as within the frame of higher supervision) demand a discretionary and legal approach.  The police regulations (PB. 1999 no. 79 as amended), the Law on the Admission and the Expulsion of Foreigners (PB. 1966 no. 17 as amended), and the Execution-decree of the Law on the Admission and the Expulsion of Foreigners (PB. 1985 no. 57 as amended) form the basis of the main-points of attention in maintaining the public law and order, public safety and immigration policy.

For instance, with regards to the government-owned companies, the cabinet is assisting the governor in his role as shareholders representative, mandated by the Executive Council, to address the compliance of recommendations made in operational audit reports of government-owned companies as well as a mutual synchronization of the activities of these companies.

Director of Cabinet is Ms. Ligia Stella. Other members of the cabinet are David Christian as section head press & protocol,  Reinier van de Pol as senior administrative lawyer and Iliana Schotborgh as senior administrative lawyer. Evelyn Hodge is management assistant of the governor, Cheryl Dormoy is secretary of the director of cabinet and Alphonso Benders is chauffeur of the governor / support secretariat Director of Cabinet. Rose-Marie Vlaun and Miguel Warner are with the protocol section.
