Nv Gebe given seven days to remove the ‘retroactive unlawfully-applied fuel clause’

In Philipsburg on Monday, the Association for Consumer Protection St. Maarten (ACP-SXM) presented a petition to NV GEBE following a peaceful protest march. ACP-SXM President Peggy-Ann Richardson highlighted two non-negotiable demands requiring immediate action. The petition specifically calls for GEBE to reverse a "retroactive unlawfully-applied fuel clause" and to suspend residential utility disconnections, as well as reconnect all affected households. GEBE Temporary Manager Iris Arrindell officially received the document from ACP-SXM legal representative Valya Pantophlet. The consumer protection group has stipulated a seven-day deadline for GEBE to comply with these primary demands.
