Curaçao Prime Minister Takes Charge of Gaming Regulator
Curaçao Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas has taken direct oversight of the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA), according to local media reports.
The move comes after the regulator's entire supervisory board resigned in mid-September, leaving the newly established agency without its top governing body.
- Commissioners Shelwyn Salesia, Robert Reijnaert, and Ildefons Simon resigned just months after the CGA began operating under the country's modernized gambling framework.
The departures have raised uncertainty about how the ongoing regulatory reforms will proceed.
Following the resignations, Pisas met with CGA management to discuss the state of the gambling sector, accompanied by government adviser Caryl Monte, while Finance Minister Javier Silvania was absent.
No official statement has been provided regarding the reasons behind the resignations.
