Port boat engine theft under investigation
Port Authority of the Cayman Islands
(CNS): Minutes from the Port Authority of the Cayman Islands (PACI) board meetings show that the RCIPS is investigating allegations that were made in an auditor general’s report in May about irregularities at the authority, including the theft of boat engines which belonged to the port that were taken from Harbour House Marine. Police have never confirmed or denied the probes but the board minutes posted on the port website show that the RCIPS is not only looking into the disappearance of boat engines, but also money stolen from the billing officer and what was described in the minutes from 6 July as a “sweeper contract”.
According to the 31 July port board meeting minutes, the probe into the issues was continuing at that point. On Tuesday the RCIPS declined to comment on the probe.
The minutes from 12 July also indicated correspondence had been received by the board from a former member of staff who had resigned in May and later sought to rescind that resignation via his attorney. No other details were given but the board voted to continue letting the lawyers deal with the matter as a result of the police investigation.
If the port engine was nicked, what happened to the starboard engine….lol.
Dumb joke
Yea, but it suits the readers.
I notice in the media of this week 4 members of port was released from duties and another has taken post with the coast guard as second in command and that post was never advertised
LOL!!! Thanks for the laugh – most comments on here are aggravating so it’s nice to see a funny one once in a while!
CNS – you need to add in a LOL button – this comment made me laugh out loud!
I had my boat outboard motor engine stolen a while back. Called RCIPS. They told me without a picture of the outboard motor, they could not launch any investigation.
I said thanks, good thing it wasn’t 50K in cash or a Rolex. I’m not sure anyone that regularly takes pictures of those items either.
RCIPS are a joke when it comes to theft.
what about the boats that were given away without proper bidding process
I think that falls under the “Friends and Family” department.
With all the news again about the Port Authority what is happening with the NRA Director that is still on suspension? Or has that fallen on deaf ears because of who the Chairman of the board is…
Yes I have been waiting now what 3 or 4 months and not a single word from the Chairman as to this investigation findings. The so called investigation by the investigators found that there was no case or evidence for a case against the Director but seems like the Chairman has other things on his agend.
11.36 still in the early stages, look at the deposed Head of Immigration who recd a big payoff for her un-named misdemeanours.
lodge????
NO.NO.
Yes …. Yes…
you’ll have one paid lackey who will post nonsense about the world class civil service.
is it possible to have any governmemt departments on this island that aren’t rotten to the core with corruption, nepotism, all round general incompetence and abject lack of professionalism….i’ll wait
Honest men are hard to find and worth their weight in gold.
That’s why we want to find a few extra good men and make them better.
Same goes for honest women!!

7.27am You do realize that the Government workforce is dominated by expats right? So Is it ” Expat unkind”
Are Jamaicans expats…?
To the 21 thumbs down on this.. Name 2… Give me 2 that don’t show any of the qualities @7:38 posted. I dare you.
HMCD and CIID. That’s 2.. Go figure
Obviously all the thumbs down on 7.38pm are civil servants – they can’t stand the truth.
I’m sure your assumption that they are all civil servants are wrong but maybe your thumbs downs are… Lollll…
