Buying Votes

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 05/17/2013 - 21:38

This morning I saw someone's washer on the side of the road near Birch Tree Hill in WB. It was outside the house of a family with multiple children and one PARTY'S flags outside the house. I wonder who bought them a new washer so close to election?!

Cayman - the land of Round-a-bouts, roads and concrete

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 05/04/2013 - 04:05

My Homeland - Our little tranquil Grand Cayman Island has become - not the enjoyable peaceful place it once was. We have allowed it to grow too fast without proper planning.  Previous governments have failed us.  Our children and grand children can't enjoy the peace and beauty that an island life should bring. We have highways where mad drivers have no regard for the speed limits and have to fly even when they still end up in the same spot as the sensible drivers. We have money being spent on roads and roads and more roads when more money need to be spent on having decent schools to help keep our children out of Northward.

Call after call after call...no one has a clue...rotting debris, torn apart by dogs, rats running everywhere....wake up ...please can anyone tell me if they will come...waste of money...last thing the gov't needs to cut...are you smarter than a fifth grader? HELP...North Sound Estates..

Caymanian voters need to demand more

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 04/24/2013 - 17:39

I am driven to write this article for the greater good of the Caymanian people. What does the populace expect of their politicians? As far as I see if you expect or ask for nothing so shall you receive. Last Wednesday many office holders and high political hopefuls were not very keen on pay cuts and taxes. Most people who are seeking public office for whatever reason, this is quite bewildering. What makes any of these hopefuls qualified to run an office controlling millions of dollars? And responsible for enacting legislation affecting thousands of people and the economy of the highly world rated Cayman Islands?

Failed Parenting / Hungry Children

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 04/21/2013 - 10:16

I was very saddened when I read a recent article which suggests that almost one in four children in the public school system needed financial assistance to buy lunches last year.  Most people understand that individuals and families can fall on hard times and don't have a problem with the government providing assistance to help anyone get back on their feet. However, what we have in Cayman, for the most part, is a culture of dependency where people feel that it is the responsibility of the government to take care of their children. This is the reason why some parents don't have a problem spending money on things like manicures and nail treatments instead of providing the basic necessities for their children.

Brac Harmony Learning Centre

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 04/21/2013 - 10:16

Firstly I would like to thank Mrs Angela Fawkes and her board of directors for this very needed and worthy programme. They have put in a lot of work over the last 2 years trying to get this programme off the ground on the Brac. We appreciate you deeply. I do have one question, hopeful someone can answer me. Is the "premier" doing anything to help this non-profit organization get this learning centre opened on the Brac?

PNA party jumps off sinking ship

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 04/20/2013 - 08:58

Do the PNA party really think Caymanians are foolish people? UDP titanic was sinking so they jumped ship formed their own party and now expect Caymanians to believe that they are trustworthy people. If Mac is guilty then they are all guilty. They were under his government so they all knew what was going on. XXXXX Neither party should be allowed to run again.

Juju driver awarded medal of merit award

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 04/20/2013 - 08:34

How can juju award her personal assistant/driver with a medal of merit for people choice award. Can I see the list of the nominations he received please. what a joke. He is her personal assistant /bodyguard/driver and she awards him for doing excellent community work. This woman is unreal. What about all the hardworking men and women of cayman that has served their community. What do they get? Try so put him to work and stop paying him huge salary to babysit juju. She has a office on Brac that is seldom open. Make him sit there and play with his thumbs perhaps this may stop him from going on the street and talking government business.

Moses K for Premier

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 04/20/2013 - 08:05

I would love to see Mr Moses Kirkconnell as the next Premier. If it was possible it should only be one seat for the Sister Islands and it should go to him of course. He is a honest man. His priority is to ALL the people of the Sister Islands not just a few. He is a voice for reason. A man of integrity and determination. He is not biased and he is not spiteful nor is he vindictive. Cayman Brac needs a leader like Mr Kirkconnell. He cares about each and everyone of his people he cares about his community and its development. He is a man of faith he values honesty and effective governance. I believe the PPM government is the only government that can revive these islands from the mess that the UDP and the now PNA government has made.

Brac Sports Director Position Biased

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 04/18/2013 - 16:26

The Premier has just hired a Sports Director for Cayman Brac. He has been setup with accommodations, transportation, and an office. He is a certified track & field coach. This position was advertised 2 years ago and many applicants as well as the Sports Instructor for Cayman Brac Mr Sanford applied and was interviewed. Last year February Mr Sanford was denied the position for Sports Director; He has served as sports instructor for the past 10 years going above & beyond his duties, voluteering and assisting to serve his community and children of all ages he so dearly loves. I think Mr sanford has done a fantastic job thus far and should have been giving the position without a doubt. He has proven to the people of Cayman Brac  that he is well capable. Why change something that has been working so well.
