Minister of Finance Charles Cooper has told the Curaçao Parliament that the current parliamentary oversight process is, in his view, too slow and that the Pisas administration prefers the ability to take financial decisions swiftly, with parliamentary approval granted after the fact rather than in advance.
Speaking during a parliamentary session, Cooper reiterated a position he previously outlined during the debate on the 2026 national budget. He said the government operates with a mechanism designed to prevent delays in public administration, while remaining within the legal framework set out in the Landsverordening Comptabiliteit 2010. In particular, he referred to Article 47, paragraph 1, which allows the government to make budgetary adjustments when circumstances require it.
