The Cayman Islands Parliament was meeting on Tuesday November 14th to debate a motion of no-confidence against the PACT (People-driven, Accountable, Competent and Transparent) coalition.
It was tabled by the leader of the main opposition People’s Progressive Movement(PPM/Progressives), Roy McTaggart, and supported by former members of the PACT government.
The motion as submitted - and the issues surrounding it - were being debated in the keenly-followed session at the time Caymanian Times went to press for this edition.
In leading off the debate, the Leader of the Opposition Progressives McTaggart, referred to what he called “an unprecedented situation”. He submitted that the motion was directed at the policy shortcomings of what he described as a dysfunctional government which he said now also lacked the parliamentary majority to govern effectively.
Mr McTaggart said he was not in favour of early election and presented alternative options as a new coalition lead by the Progressives/PPM, or a new PACT team without Mr Panton as Premier.
Responding to the motion of no-confidence against his administration, Premier Wayne Panton strongly defended his government’s track record and stewardship in office since coming to power in 2021. He rejected the Opposition’s move as “opportunistic”.
