Last week ‘left a stain’ on Cayman, says Hew

Joey Hew MP (GTN) addresses Parliament

(CNS): The member for George Town North appeared reluctant to put the election behind him when he stood to make his debut address as a member of the opposition on Friday. Joey Hew said he had been “characterized as the villain” in the recent campaign, as he pointed the finger at, but did not name, his opponent, Johann Moxam, and what he described as the “keyboard warriors jacked up on caffeine in coffee shops”. Most MPs, as they addressed Parliament either for the first time or in new jobs, spoke about unity and working together and their willingness to get past the bitterness of the campaign. However, Hew made it clear he wasn’t ready to forgive.

He said the last few months was one of the most arduous periods of his political career, as he blamed the influence of the “unregulated” world of social media for confusing the people.

“The final days of the campaign and the six days following the results exposed the ugliest side of politics and our people. The hatred and aggression towards each other… left a stain on our country,” he said. “I endured relentless attacks on my character, my family life and my integrity,” Hew said, adding that his constituents had not been fooled and had reelected him.

Hew outlined what he saw as the achievements that he and the previous government had left behind. He said he would continue to support them, even though several are not supported by the current PACT Government, especially the relentless road programme, the way that the review of the planning law has been going, and the direction of the National Energy Policy.

Barbara Conolly was also short on forgiveness when she accused her opponents of attacking her and her supporters, describing the things said as “almost unbearable”. She also aimed to score some early points against PACT when she made a jibe at the four women sitting on the government benches, asking them, “Is she supported?” — a reference to the reemergence of McKeeva Bush in the speaker’s chair, despite the trouble his conviction for assault on a woman had caused.

Conolly was, however, part of the government that created the dilemma that Wayne Panton, the new premier, had found himself in as he tried to put together a government that reflected the election result.

Panton responded directly in his own speech, which rounded up the adjournment debate Friday. “Yes, of course she is still supported,” he told Conolly, referring to Bush’s victim. He outlined the obligations he faced and what had to be done. He pointed out that Bush has acknowledged what he did and apologised for the transgressions, and said that going forward his government will be trying to set the best possible standards as a serious aspiration.

Check back to CNS next week for more details of the first speeches of the new Parliament, which has now been adjourned. The date of the next sitting has not yet been set.

See the proceedings on CIGTV below. Officials have acknowledged the sound issues and if a better quality video is made available, CNS will replace it as soon as possible.

    I know for a fact that Mr Hew and the PMM had their supporters issue “keyboard attacks” on their behalf. Reference the 3 minute voice note that was sent out the Sunday before elections that claimed that the independents couldn’t form a government. Now they are forced for 4 years to watch that they can. So don’t fall for the victim hoods of these PPM members. You’re where you are cause you’ve refused to listen to majority of the people on this island who want a better way of life and not have our islands taken from us by special interest groups. Where was Ms Conolly’s shouts for disapproval when it was asked by serval persons to remove Mr Bush from his seat? Weren’t you following along with what was “best” for the country at the time? Please, girl sit down and get comfortable. I would recommend that they all work together and ensure all in these islands are put first before themselves. Please, please improve our education system!

    God bless them all.

      Disgusting. Bush only became remorseful almost a year later amd because he really had no choice. never ever should he had beem given the seat. Sabrina and Issac even worse. Ran as independent went to ppm back to independent. I guess this is what the people want. Juliana hates the LGBT education in cayman is at its all time low…Unity no I think stupidty

    • Anonymous says:

      “Wayne won’t make the same arrogant mistake”.. Well let’s look at the facts..Wayne financed PPM for many years and was a member and supported them until March 2020.That means he was a part of all the over development, part of the poor education etc that so many blame PPM for and fail to admit Wayne’s participation. The 2014 planning law changes that Sammy spoke about, Wayne was the Environment minister at the time. At the time of McKeeva’s drunken assault Wayne claimed he was parting ways with PPM because they failed to speak out against Mc. On Friday two days after the election when the 2 sides were deadlocked,he had a choice support Mc,or PPM he choose Mc. Maybe that was part of the plan all along. But please stop this ‘Wayne wouldn’t do this or that’ crap. I’m not buying it.

    A priviledge one talking about a stain on society because things didn’t go quite as planned. I would like to say where the real stains are but I’ll remain respectful!

    I’m proud how my people stood up to the special interests and the privilege few! Now is the time for this administration to put policies in place that will benefit the country and not just the special interests and the privilege few.

    And Mac? He has been disgracing the country of course. But then practically all politicians care more about being elected than about the woman assaulted. Just a pawn in the game.

    The pubic that have endured decades of maladministration are certainly entitled to their thoughts. These were shaped from years of broken promises and misplaced trust. Hopefully Unity’s stain on our history – including addition to two sanctions lists – can be reversed in weeks/months ahead and not permanently stain us as a territory..

    Moxam please continue your community voice, we are sorry the Sheep tried to keep PPM in power, but you can still be our hero, thank YOU.

    Alden did absolutely nothing for his constituency of Red Bay for the past (4) years, this is shown by the approved HUGE & insane development about ready to be shoved down that quiet neighborhood area behind our Lighthouse School???

    Recently: Alden appointed Developers to the National Conversation Council (NCC) on 2021 and Fred Burton is OUT? **please explain this….

    Wayne, we hope your first clean-up job is “Planning Board” and “NCC” (Wah???)

    and then please immediately please LOOK at the mess at Turtle Farm, CINICO, Credit Union, and HSA….Your “Authorities” have been running wild with privilege and PPM power.

    Their hiring practices have negated the tourism work-permits that left during Covid while locals are unemployed? and your Authorities are stuffing their pockets with Ex-Pats (see Linkedin recruitment 47 applicants from overseas CINICO to check?) and with soooo many qualified and univarsity degreed Caymanians, this reliance on cronyism needs an Audit. You want Cayman first? then plan succession for these jobs to Degreed Caymanians and cull the Civil Service and Authorities = employment problem solved.

    Time for a clean sweep and chuck those cronies OUT. I see a LOT of Board and Leadership changes coming, that is awesome!!!

    Too many cushy paychecks need to be examined and see if they “really are promoting our people” or just padding their jobs and their paychecks???

    Wake up:

    Cinico
    Credit Union
    Turtle Farm

    Your questionable practices are going under the microscope under WAYNE!!!

    Caymanians first- No reason under pandemic we are seeing so many work permits approved?

        I keep wondering who is flying in this week and it saddens me to see a dozen expats on the FB chat rooms each day asking about nannies, cars, duty-free shipping, which means we are still hiring without question from overseas???

        People, Our Tourism product will take years to bounce back and we have suffered a civil service bloat for years (votes= ppm) so now is the time to re-train, Reject expat cheap work-permits, Promote vocational scholarships and WORC programs and tell our Authorities at CINICO, Turtle Farm, Credit Union, HSA, and Civil Service to hire locally!!!

        These Boards have served their own selfish agendas for too long. All Boards and CEOs need an executive audit WAYNE…

        The Cayman Airways and BA flights should not be importing labor as passengers.

        Re-tool and reduce the bloat. Time to manage and not pander to the whims of the powerful.

        • BeaumontZodecloun says:

          I also think it’s time to raise the minimum wage. Some expats are willing to sacrifice for a few years for $6/hour, but it’s not a living wage for Caymanians. You want to hire Caymanians in the hospitality industry, in bars and in stores as it was 20 years ago, then we need to be able to pay our people a living wage.

          Don’t get me wrong — we need expats, but there are entry level jobs which our people should be filling, instead of NAU dependency.

          • Anonymous says:

            F&B industry is VERY lucrative but is not the easiest work to do. It is hot and thankless for the most part. But it also carries no social weight. which is why Caymanians shy away from it. Trust me, if you are any good at F&B, you will make well more $ than the hourly wage it pays.

            And another concept/sector that is lost here is the value of your teenage working part time at a fast food restaurant. I did this in high school with several others from the same school. We actually had fun at work and made our own spending money. It instills a good work ethic as well. But people here see it as a degrading job only fit for ex-pats.

        • Anonymous says:

          People on chat rooms asking about nannies aren’t likely to be coming in for vocational jobs. Financial sector is booming – but re tooling hospitality workers to the financial services industry not an overnight task.

    These two showed us their real personalities today. What a bunch of sore losers!!

    Barbara sat over the other side for four years and even filled in for McKeeva when he was on break. In neither of these roles did she say or do anything yet she decides to throw this hissy fit today which in my mind was totally embarrassing. She went on social media and taunted Wayne and “all those women” whoever they were that were killing her about supporting the woman..and then she gets up and makes a fool out of herself today..where was her voice before?

    I was so proud of Wayne how he calmly and politely answered her. I am quite sure she was expecting a pissing match like Alden would have done but we now have a calm and cool Premier and I don’t think she was expecting his calm demeanor.

    As far as Joey, come on, you need to go into the halls of Parliament to criticize your opponent and blast everyone that didn’t support you. What you and Barbara should have done today was come into the house like civilised people, congratulate the government and pledge to work with them for the betterment of the country instead you used to spit piss at them and the country.

    We now know what to expect out of these two useless politicians for the next four years..

    The real stain on Cayman is the last 8 years of horrendous PPM policies
    We will never be able to fully quantify the damage done to the lives of hundreds of Caymanians economically and socially because the PPM was too busy or too occupied chasing big money and doing the will of the rich instead of tending to the average person

    The PPM have a problem being challenged in any format which is why Mr Hew thinks that a few mean posts on facebook, Johann being confrontational and adversarial during the campaign and callers to local radio shows having the audacity to criticise him are the end of the world as he knows it

    Bunch of spineless, sellouts who think they rule via divine right who spent too long locked in smoke filled back rooms singing their own praises

      Did you seriously say “Price the paupers out of using it”?? What an arrogant person you are. You’re exactly the kind of person that Joey caters to.

      So, you believe that only the upper and middle class should have access to freedom of speech? You probably believe that only the poor have concerns. Boy, are you wrong. Just look at the last election. Did you learn nothing?

        BeaumontZodecloun don’t you mean “Did you learn anything?”. Because ‘nothing’ is EXACTLY what they learned!

    Barbara why don’t you see how bad it was what you and your coalition did…this was a young woman who I’m sure hasn’t healed from what happened to her…this country was her home and she was unsupported by its leaders. This wasn’t a little thing so instead of trying minimize or deflect attention from your reaction, or lack thereof, show some repentance…explain and apologize for your inactions. Otherwise just continue to keep quiet about the subject!

    PPM – sore losers, unna sound too much like Trump bitching, groaning, crying and complaining about how you lost.

    Get over it PPM, you all can spend more of your valuable time with family, friends and constituents – as you no longer bear the burden of running the Majority government business.

    Try to put on a little better face than what the former Deputy Premier had one the other day at the outdoor swearing in ceremony. Mo$e$, you truly need a lesson in humility and try not to always be worried about taking everything with you in your casket when it is your time.

      3.09 Some PACT supporters sound more like Trump supporters; anything they do is ok. Seems like its ok just because its not PPM. Be careful in 4 years time you might come to regret not holding them to a higher standard than that.

        And where was Barbara when McKeeva plead guilty, hiding with the rest of the PPM. Deal killer for a lot of us. But, not at all happy that JA Bush is speaker, no excuse he’s a loser and has been misbehaving for decades.

      3:09PM what you say about Moses is very true. He seems to have completed disappeared from the public eye:
      1. Not named on any committees.
      2. Not named as one of the PPM leaders.
      3. Not made any public statement congratulating the incoming government.
      4. He seems destined and content to be another Eugene at this point – just sit in his seat and remain silent.

    What is wrong with these people??? Once person was never more embarrassed to be a Caymanian as when there was a political process by her house….now this guy saying political aggressions showed our ugliest side.
    For me it was when the PPM remained silent and did nothing when a high ranking coalition member BEAT THE SHIT out of a girl at her work place and the government did and said NOTHING!!!!

    Someone’s angry they aren’t in a cushy job any longer. Moxam should be there instead of useless hew.

      But you see, 2:55, Johan the Saviour, is NOT there and, NEWS FLASH, the electorate rejected him and voted for Hew. Another news flash, that’s how democracy works, it’s not decided by posters on CNS or any other social media. Geddit, bobo, or do I have to run through it again for you?
