RSSPrime Minister Nelson Oduber’s Wife Glenda Oduber called as witness in Minister Ramon Lee Assault case
They just don’t get it. 18 months after the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and an image 
and perception by travelers that Aruba takes an apathetic approach to crime, they are doing it again. This time to one of their own. It is hard to imagine that these are the words of a leader. One would think they would want to get to the bottom of an alleged crime, not whine and make excuses. Then again … that is the MO.
Glenda Oduber, the wife of Prime Minister Nelson Oduber was called as a witness in the alleged sexual assault matter against Minister Ramon Lee. The Prime Minister’s wife was asked to testify as the victim claims she telephoned her about what had occurred. What is more disturbing are the comments coming from the Prime Minister. Oduber, are you telling us that there are 100’s of people alleging sexual assaults against your ministers every day? Really? Are you saying so many calls come in alleging assault? You mean you cannot determine the difference between an assault and a nuisance call? Also, the Prime Minister has just admitted they cannot or is it (will not) check everything whether they are true or not. Isn’t that par for the course?
“Hundreds of people call here every day with all sorts of stories. We cannot check everything whether they are true or not. That would mean that we are in court every day or called to witness”, was the premier’s comment on the witness call.
Because heaven forbid the stories be checked out to make sure the Aruban people are safe. I guess they randomly pick and chose what they deem politically expedient.
It’s not right for the government and definitely not for his wife. He does not understand why his wife was called by the National detectives. “This is a small community and everybody has stories. Since I receive a lot of calls, my wife has become kind of a secretary at home. She hears so many things, but she cannot determine what is true and what is not.”
So is Oduber saying, “big people lie” or is he saying he does not care to find out whether an accusation of sexual assault against one of his party ministers is true or not. No wonder an American tourist like Natalee Holloway cannot get a fair shake and real investigation … does not appear that they care very much about their own woman either. From Oduber’s comments, it sounds like this is just a nuisance for him. What world do these people live in that they bed for tourism and yet continuously show an apathetic attitude toward potential crime?
Amigoe, November 27, 2006: Wife Prime Minister witness in Lee-case
ORANJESTAD – Glenda Oduber, wife of Prime Minister Nelson Oduber (MEP) is called to witness in the matter of the reporting against Minister Ramon Lee. The national detective is currently investigating a reporting on sexual offence against the minister of Labour, Sport, and Culture. Oduber’s wife is interrogated because before the reporting, the supposed victim had telephoned her about what happened. “Hundreds of people call here every day with all sorts of storeys. We cannot check everything whether they are true or not. That would mean that we are in court every day or called to witness”, was the premier’s comment on the witness call.
Oduber says that they received the call to witness via fax around 16:30 on Thursday. Several newspapers reported this the next day already, which is very strange. “Only we and the Public prosecutor are supposed to know about the call”, said Oduber. His opinion is that all the parties have to be careful and reserved about the case. “It’s a very sensitive matter and I regret the way everything is now in the media. I also regret the fact that I had to hear the woman cry again telling her story on several radio stations today (Friday, editor).”
He therefore hopes that the OM will soon have a definite answer on the legal actions and on what had happened exactly. It’s not right for the government and definitely not for his wife. He does not understand why his wife was called by the National detectives. “This is a small community and everybody has stories. Since I receive a lot of calls, my wife has become kind of a secretary at home. She hears so many things, but she cannot determine what is true and what is not. Why didn’t the woman go straight to the police instead of calling my house? Only somebody that has seen what happened or that knows the details can be considered a witness. And that’s not my wife.”

Who’s the WE, Oduber? (In my eyes, you don’t merit respect anymore, not even the token respect for a foreign head of state … so I’m calling you Oduber, as you might call a student at a British school.)
Who’s the WE, Oduber? It was your wife who was asked to testify, wasn’t it? Are you and your family above the calls of justice … as if we needed to ask.
“It’s a very sensitive matter and I regret the way everything is now in the media. I also regret the fact that I had to hear the woman cry again telling her story on several radio stations today (Friday, editor).”
Well if you’d taken care of things and found Natalee Holloway and had her murderer(s) locked up, you’d just be one happy island. Poor Rudy had to hear this woman cry again, how the eff you think she feels Rudy?
I hope all women traveling to your island read this, what empathy you have for the victims on your island, including but not limited to your own citizens. Rudy you suck
hello, you have reached TOILET DUMBASS central
how may we HURT you ???
these people are stupider than a pound of ROCKS
stupider is the only word to describe the IDIOCY
Is Rudy a prime minister of Justice?
rudy oduber is the prime minister. the head of all he sees.
rudy croes, i believe is still minister of justice. he had all of his other ministries stripped away from him after the last election. strange reaction on oduber’s part, croes might have been effective at the other ministries, but he sucks as minister of justice, as he easily proved in natalee’s case.

at least under oduber’s administration, it seems that women don’t count for much in the scheme of things. men get to act and do anything they want, and women are supposed to just grin and bear it, then shut up, go home, and get over it.
case in point, the gangrape of a l6 yr. old girl at school this last summer, the rapists even sent phone pics of the actions to their friends. the rapists are walking around,free as gulls pooping on the beaches, and the little girl had to be sent away from her family and off island to try to finish her schooling. this to avoid harassment, embarassment, and possible endangerment for her “part” in the inconvenience of the rapists being questioned by a.l.e. before they were released without being charged. the local papers printed a request that the boys and all their friends that got the phone pics to please delete the pics from their phones and resist the urge to put the pics out on the internet. i’m quite sure all the kids did just exactly that.

Oduber, the victims of crimes on your dirty little island have NAMES.

He is not that stupid and he doesn’t care one way or the other. The only problem is if he followed thru with that case the person would tell what he knows about Natalee and him. It is a lot of old men perverts and young on that island that must satisfy their lust. Ask him? They were suppose to be winding down, guess somebody slipped.

So that is where Renfro picked up that name ?
(And I thought it was Glenda the Good Witch)

By making that comment, wonder who they are doing a favor for this time.
Dollars to Dennis Jacobs’ stash of donuts
that Renfo would melt if somebody
threw a bucket of water on her.

he’s nothing but a gutless, heartless bastard!
LOL
She’s a natural, Nychic! She rides

Ob regrets hearing her cry again on the radio. Ya, he regrets it alright. Aruba citizens will find out what has been going on. Obbynot regrets that everyone had to find out that accusations are real and real people are hurting because of it. I hope the woman can “nail ‘em in the nuts”.

I would never condone or excuse a crime against humanity such as this. If true, the event is most regrettable. Like all threads about Aruba, the Hollaway incident, etc in here though, understand that it is all emotional masturb*ation and hatred that you are conjuring here. Human nature, so fine, but recognize it as such. As far as facts in any of these cases go, I think often where there’s smoke there’s fire – but most perspectives in here are self-serving and uninformed.
Reality is, shi t happens everywhere, same crimes, same influcences, forces, pressures happen all over. Nothing new under the sun. People are people, prone to human failings, corruption, illnesses. Sucks. I’m not saying the fight to perfect and address these issues as a socitey, nation, world of humans shouldn’t always be the goal… but man, wake up. You may be surprised to find out (from police) how many registered sex offenders (these are only ones that have been caught) within 5 block radius of you own home in your own city.
Launching a hate campaign over a single few incidents in one country is just not helpful. I just got back from Aruba two days ago, and as far as crime rate goes – as # if incidents per head, and relative size of the island… I’d rather raise kids there than many places in North America. Safer, better pace of living, beatuiful island, warm people.
