Opposition throws Bryan out
(CNS): The official opposition has thrown MLA Kenneth Bryan (GTC) out of the group after he refused to support the rest of the members in their efforts to convene a special meeting of the Legislative Assembly. Despite calls by the public for House Speaker McKeeva Bush to resign over his admission of a violent assault while drunk at a beach bar last month, Bryan has stymied the opposition’s move to force government to come to the LA and address the multiple issues that have arisen from the speaker’s behaviour.
In a press release issued Thursday, the opposition said the meeting was needed to debate the implications of the speaker’s statement on 24 February, where he announced that he would take a leave of absence, after apologising for the incident to his victim and others. He also admitted that he is dealing with alcohol problems as a result of lingering mental health issues that he has failed to address.
But the opposition has echoed comments by MLA Ezzard Miller, who was the first to call for an emergency session of parliament. They agreed with the North Side member that there are constitutional implications over the speaker’s decision to simply temporary step down until he decides when he is better. And it is also now apparent that the public behaviour of a politician in such high office has also thrown up other problems that need to be addressed.
But Bryan has chosen not to support his colleagues and has made public statements that do not align with the other members of the opposition. The opposition said the decision by Bryan is “an obstruction to the opposition’s ability to do one aspect of its job, to ensure that the integrity of the People’s House remains intact. By blocking the opposition’s ability to request a special meeting, the country is deprived of the opportunity to hear from the very people they elected to represent them.”
The conduct of the speaker, his admissions about his impairment, the unilateral grant of leave to him by the premier which may not be constitutional, the need to address the behaviour of members, and what the public should expect from their representatives all need to be discussed, the opposition has said.
Given that this is not the first time the Speaker has caused embarrassment to the country, the opposition members said this latest incident is a tipping point for the people, who are incensed with the double standard that appears to be afforded to those in power.
“If the government is comfortable leaving the public with this view, we, as opposition, certainly are not,” the remaining opposition members stated, as they called for the parliament to meet.
Bryan has claimed that his decision not to support the call for a special meeting of the LA, even to just debate the situation, is because he believes it is premature. Bryan said the members should be waiting for evidence from the police that the speaker did something wrong.
However, the speaker has apologised for his behaviour, admitted he lashed out at those who tried to assist him, and revealed that he is dealing with alcohol problems.
Nevertheless, Bryan made further efforts to justify his position on Rooster’s morning talk show, Crosstalk, on Thursday, when he claimed he was not opposing the idea of a meeting but he felt that without police evidence, members should wait.
However, regardless of whether or not the incident results in criminal charges, the speaker himself has clearly admitted that he behaved, at the very least, extremely unpleasantly in a public place, which many believe is sufficient for him to resign, and if he will not do so willingly, MLAs should be given the chance to impress upon him the need to do so.
The issue was summed up succinctly by long-time advocate for women’s rights and a campaigner against gender based violence, Carolina Ferreira, when she called into the show. She asked Bryan if he believed the only standard for removal from office for those holding prestigious positions is some kind of criminal charge, and short of that, by implication, anything goes. But Bryan struggled to give a meaningful response.
The George Town Central MLA appears to be standing his ground and is therefore quite clearly now poles apart from the position taken by his colleagues on the opposition benches.
Opposition MLA Chris Saunders (BTW) highlighted why this does not need to rise to the level of a criminal charge for the speaker to resign and why he was calling for his resignation. He recalled how his mother started her career as a waitress at the then Royal Palm Hotel.
“For many years she had to shrug off abuse from drunken patrons because she had five children to feed and educate,” he said. “For me to stay silent and not to speak up for women in particular but all hospitality workers in general knowing the sacrifices my mother made on behalf of my sisters and I, would be a betrayal to my mother, my conscience and my constituents who value the role of women in our society,” he added.
CNS reached out to Bryan for comment and we are awaiting a response.

Kenneth, thank God most of these fools do not vote in GTC.
Kenbot!
Safe to assume this involves a promise not to pit a viable candidate against him in 2021.
3.19 You are free to assume anything you want. Doesn’t mean you are right. Afterall it is just an opinion and everyone has one of them.
Let the games continue….,,

“However, the speaker has apologised for his behaviour, admitted he lashed out at those who tried to assist him, and revealed that he is dealing with alcohol problems.”
However, the speaker has issued a statement of apology, in which he described his behaviour as having lashed out at those who tried to assist him, and revealed that he is not dealing with alcohol problems.
There fixed it for you CNS.
Kenneth. You still have years ahead of you before retirement. If you persist with condoning this admitted act of violence, how can anybody trust you or respect you. Have some standards and do the right thing to let justice be served.
You know what, I’ve determined that they are all a crock of sh*t! I listened to Kenneth on Rooster yesterday and one thing he said stands out significantly. He pointed out that 7 opposition members were not needed, just 7 of them from either side. Kenneth deserves the heat he’s getting, and I do not agree with his stand at all. It just really baffles me that none of the women on the PPM dick riding team, stood up, or said a word publicly in support of the injured lady. None of them, man or woman from the other side did the right thing. They need to catch heat too for being spineless and outright useless. Opposition team, you tried but were still too late with your attempt. Throw the whole LA away. smdh
everyone afraid of a Mac attach
More overtly, there doesn’t appear to be a Speaker, or Deputy Speaker, and nobody besides Ezzard seems to mention that’s a problem. It illustrates how little respect there is for the purported function of these positions and the integrity of House procedure. We can clearly see these are nothing more than window-dressing positions now.
Give this poster a prize….we have a winner
Yes a shake up is needed. I for one think it is time. The current LA members are truly not the most accurate representation of the people of the Cayman Islands.Shame! Shame!!! My final comments:
1. Why are the ladies of The House so passive in speaking up against such a matter?
2. Where is Anthony Eden now that the country needs your public outcry? Why are you not Bible thumping down on this matter?
3. ….Saunders your story is no different from many of us yet it took the outcry of the public for you to make your stands public.
4. The current LA members are setting a poor example for the current young people of the country and those to come. Yet they will be the first to throw them under the bus.
5. As the saying goes ” Action Speaks Louder Than Words” – Come together and do us a favour and agree to change the term limit of representation. Too many of you are fossils and have truly done very little for your constituents and the country as a whole and needs to go. A maximum of 2 terms is more than enough for representatives, who do absolutely nothing, to collect a salary that is undeserving.
6. People of this country we tend to have short memories. By the time 2021 comes around, too many of us would be on to the next fight and still forget that the ball is in our court.
7. We must clean house the next election if we are to hold on to this country and everthing it means to us.
The reason the ladies of the House are passive is because McKeeva has a number of political IOU’s which he is now cashing in with them. McKeeva has political IOU’s at all levels and that is the reason no charges have been laid.
An excellent example of raw political power.
What are you talking about. There was a time everyone assessed what happened, then they spoke out unitedly. What? Are you suggesting as soon as they see wrongful behavior they must bark to suffice your intelligence? All MLA’s that remained silent to the public and then took the opportune time to condemn McKeeva, are justified for what they did.
Enjoy your only-need-300-votes-from-the-ghetto-to-be-elected OMOV!
One man one vote sounded very democratic but in our very small constituencies it was better to have district wide voting.
I think we should all get to see the CCTV video of the incident. Quick before someone gets their way and is disappears forever. Oops! It was accidentally deleted from the server.
Ooow nice new car you have there…
Apparently it is more shocking than we have been lead to believe.
I heard that it has already “disappeared “
This is WIDER than female abuse. It is simply WORKPLACE ABUSE. Many other types of Workplace Abuses takes place in Cayman, in Social, Entertainment, Business and other Workplaces, which cause emotional and physical harm.
Granted that in this and most cases, females are in the higest percentage of victims, males/females sustain verbal, overwork, poor working conditions,
Harrassment: (Actions or Comments that a worker finds offensive. (Like MLA BTW mother). This worker doesn’t have to be the target but hear or witness the behaviour. (All or most who witmesses the latest abuse were in some way emotiinally impacted).
Discrimination: Treating workers unfairly on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, age, social status etc..
Unfair action include harrassment, retaliation, denying employment and promotion opportunities and making decisions and policies which give customers/clients/patrons the ALWAYS RIGHT permission to humiliate staff.
Bullying, immigration/workpermit threats, etc are other forms of abuses.
These abuses can lead to Emotional effect such as depression, loss of self-confidence, anxiety and feeling of helplessness.
Some Physical effects are high blood pressure, headaches, ulcers, weight loss, sleeplessness and others.
Social impact : Lower productivity, poor performace, withdrawal from colleagues and other anti-social behaviours.
This situation with Hon Mac should highlight once and for all many similar Workplace issues in Cayman. The Govt, Opposition, Chamber of Commerce need to look at the Labour Law and see where it needs strengthening. Workers need to be protected from these Workplace abuses, that will be dealt with WITHOUT fear of retaliation.
Perpetrators (Owners, Bosses, Businesses, Colleagues and Customers) needs to be held Accountable.
Less talk and more Action across the board. Stop the hidden madness.
Agreed with the above. But employees needs to go to work on time and do work for their money too. Plenty never gets to work on time then goes to the shop delics for breakfast. and takes long lunches breaks( check Brac, admin., PWD , Post offices et . an when spoken to. They say is harassment. They have very poor work ethic . But wants big.money.
JusticeForAll says.. apart from the immigration stuff you have just described the treatment of a lot of lo als at the hands of expat bosses.Of course a lot of it is well hidden and passed off as something else. So you are right “Stop the hidden madness”.
Good riddance!
To bad rubbish
I wonder what Kenneth’s wife thinks of the fact that her husband believes there are circumstances in which it’s ok to condone violence against women – if it’s personally expedient to do so.
Exactly, all I got from Kenneth is that we need to consider the possibility that Keke is a depressed alcoholic, with possible mental illness and no recollection of the events of that night. So how can he (Kenneth) actually hold him accountable when considering these things. McKeeva admitted to assaulting the woman for f@#k’s sake!! Does anything else really matter? He hasn’t even been arrested. I’m a woman and if it were me out there fighting another woman and police are called, I’m sure I’d be arrested. Truth be told, McKeeva has had so many strikes and managed to crawl out unscathed. Can’t help but think the same thing will happen again. Cayman is not a real place.
slippery eel, dat
DA WHA YA GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kenneth you had the chance to show the world that not all Cayman politicians are inept and corrupted and you blew it massively. Don’t let the door kick you on the way out BoBo. Fellow Caymanian here!
I hope when Kenneth loses his seat and cant find a job and pay his school tuition Mac will put him up in his west bay castle.
Here we go again! Quid-Pro-quo at play here! If anyone believe that Ken Ken is a fool and is worried that Arden and Co has thrown him out of the OPPOSITION is a big mistake!
KEN Ken need to get re-elected and has NO money to payoff constituents, like he did in 2017, so he is cutting deals with the accused (WMB) and the PPM to secure himself a seat in 2021!! If anyone know a little about politics is a GAME of wheeling and dealing! Remember now, Ken Ken has a lot of repair work in his constituency and he has to deliver.
But, he has no backbone and VISION! He has been thrown out of the PPM, shamed by WMB, and now the opposition party!
This is what happens when you elect uneducated fools like him and mac. They learn the tricks of the trade , read up on some stuff and blag their way through the years .There is a reason why politicians should be well educated, these two fraudsters fooled a few to get elected but not all. They wouldn’t get to clean the shoes of an elected politician in the real world.
FYI – Joey Hew has as much education and qualifications as Big Mac.
Miami Herald:
“ He [Singer Pleasure P ] then drove up to the window, got out of his car and “pushed her intentionally” with the $60 worth of food he had just paid for, police said.
His fit at the fast food joint ended in a free ride to jail. The singer, whose real name is Marcus Cooper, was arrested and charged with battery.”
Why RCIPS still investigates McKeeva Bush?
Ineptitude, bias/corruption or diligent professionalism. You tell me.
@ 7:46 am O.K. , I’ll go with the ineptitude, bias, and corruption, but I don’t see any professionalism.
Because he is the boss you dummy!
He has power over police? The boss? His tail is tucked between his legs as I write this.
Did the Miami Herald incident occur in Cayman or US. I suspect it was in the US whose laws do not apply in the Cayman Is
Aren’t you a simpleton?
To 10.14 Am not, but you are.
Cayman is the.most corrupt place in the world for size and.population
And your home town is squeaky clean. Right.👍🏽
One down. Twenty more to go.
While it might not apply in this instance it is still important to understand that politics is a dirty game where many of the players don’t have the strongest moral and ethical foundations. Sometimes misguided positions can be taken because of misplaced loyalties and an inability to consider anything outside of someone’s own perceived self-interest.
Dumb that down so Kenneth can understand it please
7.00am Arrogant snob. Bigot.
He should never been allowed to run for election in the first place,
Also known as “being really bad at your job”
And the love of money is always part of the self-interest!
@ 12 53 That is why you wantthe job. Too bad you can’t hold elected office.
one question: why did a spineless cayman compass call for mac’s removal and kenneth bryant could not?????
Kenny needs a job more than Jimmy needs money.
Hahaha so true
I have read the majority of comments. I don’t disagree that Kenneth should have made a different choice but if my memory serves me right, none of the Opposition Members spoke up until there was a massive public outcry. Therefore, I really donot see how they can stand up against one member and not outcry each other.
What about the Gov’t Members? The Opposition Members should be daily shaming these members as well.
As far as I am concern, none of the MLAs are better than one another.
They all need to go in 2021. ALL OF THEM!!!!!
And Ken needs to be the first one through the door with Alden right behind him. Dumb and Dumber! Joey should also be forced to drive from Bodden Town everyday with the hopes of getting to work by 8.00 a.m. with a condescending boss up his A$#!
And replaced with who? We simply have no Caymanian political talent on this island.
Sad but true.
Wayne Panton, Marco Archer, Winston Connelly, Sharon Roulstone, Ezzard Miller, ….
Wayne, Marco, did not win the election. Just deal with it. Three years on you all need to let it go. Sharon was not elected!, Winston Connolly will not run again. He got so fed up with the PPM rubbish that he left!!
They have to be elected. 4 of the 5 names you throw out either didn’t get re elected or elected at all, and the last has a paper thin majority. Perhaps the problem is not just the talent, it’s the intelligence and integrity of the electorate
10.04 pm Since you think our GTC voters are so dumb, that they voted for Kenneth,then it’s safe to say they are not the ones agitating for him to resign. Wonder who those non voters are.
We could let Arden be the Premier and build around that. Johann Moxam could be his deputy.
In my opinion, Arden McLean, Joey Hew, Moses Kirkconnell, Tara Rivers and Juliana O’Connor-Connolly are not viable solutions as the next Premier of the Cayman Islands in 2021.
There are many qualified Caymanians who could serve as MLA’s and provide quality leadership for our country going forward. Hopefully they will step forward in 2021 if their personal circumstance allow them to do so.
Any person that cannot or will not condemn unacceptable and boorish behavior or who does not understand the difference between right vs wrong or has spent energy misrepresenting the facts and lying to the public should not be voted into office as a representative of the people. Cayman deserves better.
We have the power as voters to break the cycle of electing career politicians and 2 term politicians that are desperate for a highly paid job, power & pursuit of vanity projects at all costs which does not help the majority and fails to address the pressing priorities of the country.
Any politician that has demonstrated their focus is protecting or working for special interests and their political financiers, families and friends should NOT be given the privilege of being elected in 2021.
“When people show you who they are believe them”
Best regards
Johann Moxam
Maybe 2/5…keep going…need 20 plus also rans. They don’t exist.
Give me a break – Marco Archer – another Alden yes man
He’ll never leave that specially crafted hyperinflated salary at Stock Exchange.
No thanks
The problem is the job description attracts exactly the wrong types. The ones that like the sound of their own voices, the ones that get off on being treated as dignitaries, the ones that like easy money, the ones that like to fly around the world first class and pretend they’re Saudi princes, the ones that like to “help people out” on the understanding that the favour will be returned one day, or because you’re wearing a short skirt. Assholes in other words.
So because we have no Caymanians to stand up to the plate we should be forced to live with these current bungling inept leaders? I say let’s gets some expats in and clean this mess up and start over.
The only way to clean up the corruption and mess is direct rule for a few years. I reluctantly see no other way as the cancer is too far advanced.
To 557 No matter how much you agitate we are not going to take that backward step.
To 11.13am Hell no. I am sure that their home country needs them more than we do. Send them back there to mess up things
To 7.37 We have enough . Don’t need no imports.
Agreed, but Mac, Alden, and Kenneth need to be the first ones out. Followed by Tara, Juju and then the rest of the government MLAs who followed like meek little mice when they had their chance to shine.
Every member of the UNITY government has to go!
Alden McKeeva Moses Tara Joey Roy Julie Dwayne Barbara David Eugene Austin.
…and still needs 2/3 of other turds to agree.
Kenneth…
“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
No class, simple as that. He and many like him are the first to say how they would kill someone if they it happened to their mothers and sisters, yet they’re perfectly okay with it if it happens to someone else’s mother and sister. I imagine that he feels some sort of a debt to Big Mac over the Alden incident, but this is not the way to pay it back… Best Bryan can do is to apologize to the public at large for his error, apologize to the opposition, and support the opposition’s motion. I doubt he’s smart enough to do it. Come next Kindergarten election, because it is as Mickie Mouse as it can be, Mr. Bryan may be looking for another job.
I suppose he is banking on the Premier and mackeeva finding a seat for him over on their side, and probably a concillor’s position in payment. They will do anything to keep that little “ring play” together.
Well, Kenneth, don’t know what you are doing. I live on Crewe Road, and you sure didn’t come to my door and ask me anything about keeping or removing McKeeva Bush from his post. I don’t know who in our district told you to make such an out of sinq decision. But now, I guess, you have to deal with the consequences you started.
#creweroadmassive
I live on Martin Drive and never darkened my door…done with him too..
Vote No
the port is dead when will you shutup about vote no?
11.35px According yo the Condtitution a referendum question needs a yes or assenting vote to be succssful.
Can we start a #kennethbryanresign movement now ?
Please feel free to use the hashtag so we can get that POS out of our Parliament he is not deserving of the honour!
Kenneth you sold your soul to the devil but your sins will find you out soon I’m already hearing the rumblings of what you are getting for your betrayal
#recallkenny
At worst he is now just on par with 13/19 majority of the (complicit) House. You’re gonna need more hashtags.
The guy sold coke to an undercover police officer. Matter of public record, and his no conviction recorded because the judge bought the idea it was a one off and he was just trying to get into her pants.
cayman justice
#kennethbryanresign…….you have my vote. Let’s not wait for 2021. Let’s get these losers out now!!!
To be replaced by…themselves! You don’t even understand what the problem is.
And he was immediately arrested and charged.
Later, when he came to the defense of a woman who was was being assaulted, he was arrested and charged (and acquitted).
Every time Sandra Catron gets out of bed, our robust law authorities manage to find some way for her to be arrested and charged (and acquitted).
Kenny has unfortunately stopped his walk to redemption by failing to unhesitatingly do the right thing.
Anyone else sharing deep deep concern over the conduct of our police?
11:09pm. Drug pushes should never be allowed to run for MLA, period. Only in Cayman can this bull shit happen, with the dullest tools in the shed voting
@5.14pm I guess the sharpest tools were too smart to vote.Oh boy. Makes one wonder who is civilized and who is the jackass.. the dull tool voting or the sharp tool not voting.
I met Bryan some years ago in my professional capacity – my impression is that he thinks he’s smarter than he is, that his ego is overly inflated.
You got that right!!
nauticalone; Doesn’t that apply to all MLA folk?
10.47 I After reading your comment I have that same impression of you.
They threw him out because he refused to take orders and they say Alden dictatorial? All of you commenters who criticized PPM members for not breaking with their leader and of being puppets; now Kenneth is refusing to be a puppet he is being crucified by the same commenters
um, standing up against violence and demanding this embarrassment to the country resign is NOT being a puppet, it’s called doing the RIGHT THING! Bryan shot himself in the foot on this one. The assault aside, Mac said he’s mentally unfit and has an alcohol problem- does that sound like someone who should be in a place of power?? NO! I don’t want him representing my district just as much as the majority doesn’t want him to be the Speaker of the House!~ He needs to go, period!
But isn’t Arden the same Govt Minister who charged a very expensive watch ( a gift for wifey) to Govt credit card . Are they ready to debate that at this time too.
Gold medal standard whataboutery
Come to west and run against Bernie you will win.
So much talent in West. I am overwhelmed by the best and brightest.
Meanwhile, what is his political affiliation? Will he join the Government coalition and will they welcome him? Surely for pure numbers sake they would but that would tarnish any integrity they claim to have left. Or will he remain the sole “independent”?
What a mess McKeeva has caused – AGAIN!!
Kenny getting shuffled to the corner with Ezzard. (Though if Ezzard is in the NE corner maybe can take the west-central spot?)
What an idiot. Drinks spiked? Women kicking Mac? Get a grip. So deep in someone’s pocket he can’t see the light of day.
If all that happened the police should have been called asap and McKeeva should have been taken to the hospital. Where is the proof that he was kicked, if he was it probably was in defense of the lady he was beating up. I would have kicked him too! Where is the doctors report that his drink was spiked? all lies and Kenneth is helping him spread it. He was scurried away from the scene of the crime until he could concoct his anancy stories. Birds of a feather flock together.
On Rooster this morning he had the gaul to claim that one of the reasons he was holding off supporting the motion is that he “heard” there were 3 women attacking the “honourable speaker”.
Can’t make this shit up. Yes we are officially a 3rd world banana republic.
‘gall’ But I still gave my thumbs up
Maybe he can get a celebratory tattoo?
He is a real spin doctor. I heard him say he has 400 GTC voters on his whatsapp group and he asked them what he should do and he said only 20% said that Mac should go.
But he never said how many said that Mac should stay. I guarantee you more people said Mac should go than stay otherwise he would have said XXX percent of the 400 people I surveyed said Mac should stay.
Does Keneth really think we are idiots ? I challenge him to show us how many people said Mac should stay on his little whatsapp survey
So, if 50% +1 of all his constituents voted to remove Mac he would have gone along with the opposition. But they didn’t so he didn’t. That’s the logic no doubt based on the best of Cayman’s democracy at work…………..
This guy !!!! sigh, what a disapointment… I vote in GTC and sadly voted for him. Wont happen again.
Kenny hold strong and don’t be bullied. GTC stands with you!
so you support violence against women? Cool story bro!
smh
To 9.23am Stop the bullying. No intimidation please.
Oh dear- three of you- won’t get reelected by a mere 3.
You are not GTC. You can stand with him, I don’t. Kennith stopped the possibility of there even being a debate on this subject. This was not a vote to remove the speakers it was a vote to have a debate before having a vote to possible remove him. All Kennith achieved in doing was stopping a discussion under the his belief of standing up for justice.
I seriously doubt that. This idiot is toast at the next election. Hopefully MacAlden promised to appoint him to a lucrative role in exchange for his integrity.
Good! Next up, GTC to kick him out too!
Seriously, Why does he need Police evidence when McKeeva admitted it happened and what he did? Am I missing something here??
Today was the first time, I have seen him squirm and avoid questions. Favors are being returned even he doesn’t want to admit it..SELL OUT!!!!
He admitted to the guilt act but did not admit to the guilty mind as he apparently can’t remember… you need both for a criminal conviction … so Mac will get off yet again …
He should obviously be removed as he doesn’t have the honour or integrity to step down willingly.
What you’re missing is that he’s protecting Mac on Alden’s instruction because he owes them a favour or they’ve agreed to give him something in return. The balderdash about police procedure and “guidance” from his GT voters were 0% of his decision making, they’re just flimsy excuses. I don’t think even he expects anyone to believe that shite. It’s as close to Manipulation of the political process as Mac/ Alden can get without dyeing themselves orange and getting a combover.
To 12.38 Dont stop you’re on a roll. Just keep making up stuff you might just get lucky.
You know what makes me so angry is that he couldn’t even give a decent explanation this morning and then told Woody not to allow any calls for an hour to avoid the heat hoping that no one would be listening in the last hour…
I had some hope for him but unfortunately he has learned early about the political favors and doing what it take to get re-elected..Only thing with him is that he stands out like a sore thumb and Alden and Mac will chew him up and spit him out next election, that is, unless the people of GTC don’t do it before…
yep…he tried every trick in the book this morning…including multiple readings of the various official statements…..
Kenny is just returning a political favor for Mac…These things happen folks..move along..nothing happening here…
Yep, Bush is cashing in his political IOU.
How is his vacay in London? Have he and Alden jetted over to Monaco or Monte Carlo?
CNS why do you prevent pressing ‘Like’. Like all the time?
CNS: The function will not accept another vote if someone at the same IP address has already voted. We have nothing to do with it.
One minute we are in ‘cahoots’ about the government not following procedures. OFREG, NRA,CIAA, etc….the boy is just trying to explain the right way. What if Mr. Bush is found not guilty and proven (doubts of course) of defending himself….who is going to pay the lawsuit. Better to lead than follow.
defending himself?? You can’t be serious!! Maybe the victim should post the bruises on her neck for you! Disgusting behavior, should not be acceptable, regardless if you’re in a public position of power or not!! SHAME ON YOU!!
What if he is found not guilty? He’s admitted he got blind drunk and attacked a woman that was trying to help him, in public while dozens looked on and filmed it. Is that acceptable behaviour from the Honorable Speaker of the House? Do we need a criminal conviction to answer that question?
Bush found not guilty? The only way that could happen is if he is brought to trial….. and that won’t happen.
Missing the whole point (as is Kenneth) of the reason behind the motion to remove him from Govt. this is not just because of this latest incident, this is the latest of a long list of things Mac has done over the years which has put the CIG in an embarrassing situation. He may not have been charged with them (boy that may can find the loop holes) but at the end of the day this is a man in a position of power who represents our island to the world.
He has admitted to having an alcohol problem along with mental health issues, now don’t get me wrong, not necessarily reason to fire someone from their job, however when you hold a position of power, it should not be allowed. I think the constitution states as such.
Kenneth talked about letting the police do there job and follow due process, if this is the case, why was Mac not arrested on the spot. If that was anyone else they would have been in the back of the car in no time, so why was Mac not? Also if his was in such a delusional state of mind, why was. He not taken to the hospital for treatment and observation….
the biggest untruth(among many) he told on radio this morning was that he was acting on the response he got from his constituents…..
this guy is so far out of touch of public opinion it is not even funny
Correct and as a result, he will be getting none of the 27 votes I control when the time comes.
Truth told.
based on what he knows and all evidence before him….he still would not allow a vote of no confidence.
for that he will now suffer the same fate as mckeeva.
his pathetic weasel word excuses for mac were sickening….
saying how he heard that mac’s drinks were spiked or a number of women attacked mac…. pure nonsense that he kept repeating.
if this is the best of the new young caymanian wave of politicians…then cayman is truly doomed.
Clearly he is someone’s best friend, I hope he gets rewarded handsomely for his betrayal of all women. If I was him mom, I know what I would be doing to him right now, grrr
That’s why we need also Mario and Johann.
New wave needed!
Johann…yes!!
Mario…NO,NO, NO, HELL NO.
One of them is just another Kenneth and it is not Johann!
Mario can’t run anyways..
his rooster performance was a trainwreck and was being shredded by callers until he ran for the door.
The people of GTC will soon follow suit.
Hopefully they will elect him out. He has shown his colors, will his constituents agree with his views…
He showed his colours before ever being elected. He obtained drugs for an undercover cop.
