AVP fraction leader Mike Eman and MPA fraction leader Monica Arends signed a petition that was sent to the President of Parliament Rudy Croes in connection with the Natalee Holloway case.

The petition is a request to the Parliament President to request representatives of the Concerned Citizens Committee of Aruba (CCCA) to meet with Parliament.

The reason for the request is because the Parliament Members find that the Natalee Holloway case is causing a lot of negative publicity for Aruba. They think that it is important for Aruba to have a national effort to protect our country from this development. In connection herewith they wish to listen to CCCA. They also think that the information that they receive from CCCA can be the base for a Parliament meeting with other organizations of Aruba. The have requested for their petition to be handled with urgency.

The Parliament members said to have been approached by a CCCA representative who indicated that the Committee wished to voice their concern in Parliament.

Both MPA’s Arends and AVP’S Lee think that this matter is taking too long and has to be dealt with seriously.
