Premier confirms Government's stability

 

Statement - Cayman Maintains Functioning Government

1 November 2024 | By: CIG Public Relations -

The past 24 hours in the Caymanian political landscape has been unprecedented, following the resignations from the UPM of three Cabinet Ministers and one Parliamentary Secretary which is most regrettable. Today, I want to assure the people of the Cayman Islands that a constitutionally viable elected Government remains in place.

To this point, the Cabinet is meeting today, Friday, 1 November 2024 to discuss its weekly business agenda to fulfil our constitutional duty to you, the people we serve. With a majority of five sitting ministers, inclusive of myself as Premier, the Cabinet is constitutionally quorate and therefore fully able to function.

The sacred duty of elected office remains top of mind for myself and my colleagues, despite the uncertainty of the present circumstances. Our earnest and primary desire is to maintain stability within our Government, for the benefit of the people we serve and to maintain the confidence of you, the public and those who conduct business with us.

I wish to thank Her Excellency the Governor for her guidance and support as well as the Public Service for maintaining objectivity and professionalism in delivering government services at this time.

also wish to thank the Caymanian public for your support. I have heard from many of you through your calls, messages, prayers, well wishes and encouragement. You have made it very clear that you rightfully expect stability, competence and unity in your leadership and we are determined to deliver this. You deserve nothing less.

To this end, discussions are continuing to further secure Government stability and to proceed about the business of our people. I commit to providing you with an official update through government channels, including GOV.KY and Radio Cayman.

May God continue to bless and protect our three Cayman Islands.

Premier Hon. Juliana O'Connor-Connolly, JP, MP
