WILLEMSTAD.- Prime minister Eugene Rhuggenaath denied rumors that the Government plans to increase the garbage tax. According to Rhuggenaath, he is not aware of any government proposal to increase garbage fees. Rhuggenaath reacts like this, to the news that is coming out on the social networks that Selikor supposedly is not paying the pension premium of its the workers in the General Pension Fund APC, nor retained premiums of the salary of the workers for Medical Insurance and to top it operates the company without payment of light and telephone. According to the news, the Rhuggenaath Government would be thinking of raising the tax to 40 guilders.
As is known, the government pays Selikor to collect the garbage with the tax that the community pays. Rhuggenaath denied that there is a plan to increase the tax. The only thing he said to EXTRA was that the Government intended to review if the rate had to be indexed, because it has been at the same level for many years. EXTRA tried to make contact with the director of Selikor, to obtain an answer regarding different news that circulate in the social networks, but the director did not give any answer yesterday.
It was recently learned that the Government took steps to cut Selikor’s monthly payment by 5%. To mitigate the lack of revenues, Selikor paralyzed the work that was provided by between 20 and 25% temporary workers and reassigned personnel from other departments again, to comply with the garbage collection service. Selikor is talking with the Ministries of Public Health and Finance to deal with the liquidity problem that is confronted internally, due to the measure of shortening 5% of the monthly payment that the company receives.
