Bouterse sacks loyalist

(De Ware Tijd) PARAMARIBO – Steve Peneux, deputy-director of service at the Ministry of Public Works (OW) has received a letter from permanent secretary Roland King informing him of his dismissal on orders of President Desi Bouterse. This has come as quite a surprise as he is known as a loyalist of both OW-Minister Ramon Abrahams and the President. The only thing Peneux wanted to tell DWT was that he has indeed received the letter. He served about 10 months in this function.
