SINT MAARTEN (POND ISLAND) – On Monday January 6th, 2020, the Minister of Justice, Mr. Egbert J. Doran, swore in eleven (11) immigration officers, according to a press statement from the Cabinet of the Minister.
The Minister congratulated the new officers and in his speech, emphasized on the importance of maintaining credibility and integrity at all times during the execution of their tasks.
“If you damage your hand, you can get a fake hand; If you damage your leg, you can get a fake leg; But if you damage your brain, you cannot replace your brain cells; The same happens, if you damage your credibility, as you cannot replace your credibility; If you damage your integrity you also cannot replace this;”
“This means if your credibility is compromised, you are no longer reliable. If your integrity is compromised, you are no longer trustworthy and you are perceived as dishonest and having weak or no moral principles”, stated the Minister.
This occasion was at the same time a pleasurable and proud moment for the Minister of Justice, due to the fact that some of the faces were familiar ones, who actually went to school with the Minister.
The Minister wished all eleven (11) of the new officer’s well, and said that he can foresee them having long lasting and productive careers in the Justice field.
“I am pleased to state that our young people are developing and progressing positively, and that says a lot about our Country” stated the Minister.
