Dowers acknowledges slower progress
The Aruba prison project is progressing more slowly than the government wanted, Justice Minister Arthur Dowers said after a parliamentary meeting, according to 24ora’s November 10 report. He attributed delays to funds being redirected toward community support during the Middle East crisis. That explanation is the minister’s account.
Commission reviews models and site preparations
Dowers said a commission is meeting weekly to examine possible prison models and that limited additional sums have been included in the budget. He also reported an understanding with DIP about the location and required land area. Measuring and marking out the site are described as next steps. The report does not announce a construction start, a completed design or a final project budget.
