Anti-corruption cops under HR internal review
(CNS): The Commissions Secretariat, which has responsibility for the staff working for the Anti-Corruption Commission, has confirmed that some members of the investigation unit have been assigned to carry out their duties remotely while an internal HR matter is being reviewed. Officials denied that the officers had been suspended, but in line with civil service policy for dealing with personnel issues unrelated to the ACC’s investigations, the officers are working remotely.
“This arrangement will continue until the end of the internal review, and further to any resulting recommendations,” officials said in response to CNS inquiries. “For the avoidance of doubt, this matter does not relate to any ACC investigation, nor does it have any bearing on the quality and integrity of the work being done by the ACC. The work of the ACC and the Secretariat continues as usual.”
The commission said it was unable to provide specific details publicly but CNS has learned that this involves three officers and relates to allegations of bullying.

4:41am I concur . Several months ago I was told about these events by a political minion and at the time I thought it almost impossible for this to happen but never ever doubt or under estimate the extent of corruption. Let’s put in in context Cayman we have a HR review which is now crippling and anti corruption investigation unit investigating government and political corruption in Cayman for bullying WOW ! That by the way goes on every friggin day in the DG world class civil service ! You do the math Cayman something is seriously amiss here.
What even is a “HR Review”??
Sounds like cover-up!
It was a cover-up
Manager lost her job as a result of trying to cover it up.
I would like to know what recourse remains to Caymanians to have the governor recalled. This man is destroying our islands.
lol get out of here
If three investigators are facing accusations of bullying, i would question why the managers are not also being investigated. Why did they not deal with the alleged situation and prevent it getting to this stage?
Anon I think you stopped taking your meds again.
Uncivil poor you. You do realise that you are commenting on an article about staff being held accountable. Get a life
Or, staff being framed.
just imagine what Cayman would be without UK oversight. Caymaica!
Just imagine how much better Cayman would be if some of that oversight were exercised.
9:19 You’re living it. Appreciate the fact that you don’t live by jungle rules as you would in Jamaica
But I do. I left Jamaica for that reason, but the rules have since followed, and the UK refuses to do anything about it.
I think you exaggerate… Jamaica wasn’t that bad the last time I was there……….. or was it???
Just imagine how great it would be if there were some action to get rid of the corruption in the Cayman government that is ignored year after year after year. Doesn’t anyone care?
It is a total disgrace with it.
I can’t imagine……… but I think a new governor might be beneficial for the Caymans. Our current governor fails to impress me.
Bring back Taylor to clean up and get rid of Mac.
😂 😂 To the golfing was there a deceptive Feint to the recruitment on the 18th hole
If you know, you know.
Private Sector takes the cake😋🍰.
Those co-workers & managers micromanage the “hell out of you [pun intended]” & put their personal feelings into every stage of it.
The Private Sector Workplace is the biggest playground for many people with a lot of personal issues, harmful complexities, & lonely souls. It’s A RECIPE FOR DISASTER if you can’t find good (work) associates & engage with happily productive teams/departments with great communication skills.
Is this issue related to the private sector or the public sector?
If you have to be micromanaged then both yo and the manager are a problem.
anon are you insane? Manderson reputation is stellar.
I cant understand how Roper and Manderson can be blamed because someone made an allegation and it is being investigated? you guys have lost the plot.
Manderson is employing people a year after they were caught smuggling drugs into prison. Best of all, he is doing it at your expense.
The topic of corruption reminded me of a few questions that still need to be answered:
Is the postal service or some other entity available to deliver past due resignations to the Clerk of Parliament?
Is there still a giant lump under the carpet related to misplaced top soil?
Does Wayne, or anybody else, remember the issues underlying these questions?
Wasn’t it Marl that was liberated from Government, by a senior politician, who sent it to his relative…?
Please correct the facts if I have misunderstood the allegation.
I remember the Englishman who stole fill from his employer to put on his house lot.
The employer took him to court, he was found guilty, work permit revoked, had to leave Island with his Caymanian wife.
I guess the same law does not apply to well connected Caymanians.
Or civil servants (Gasboy) or Prisoners (Stipend Frauds).
When it comes to light who is currently being investigated by the ACC people will understand why now their staff are being investigated.
Shameful.
If u supervisor or manager kindly asks a worker to please come to work on time and try not to be on the phone with personal matters so much,they wil say that’s Bullying these days. Lazy people always says bullying. Years ago lazy peope got fired.
I say again, “who’s watching the watchers??”
That committee to be soon assigned.
The Lodge and clandestine operatives.
If you are trying to say Mr. Roper is useless, then I have no recourse but to concur with your sentiment.
Then again I suspect he is useful to someone. The question is, who?
His future consulting clients.
He’s useful to the usual Govt house social climbing cocktail party leeches .
Anyone come to mynd..?
Is anyone actually left in that office.
Having worked as a supervisor within a Gov entity if this is bullying which is dosen’t actually say there are
normally three elements.
1. The complainant is under qualified for the position and should never have got the job, but when has that mattered in Cayman.
2. Because they were not qualified they are under performing and need to try and shift the blame.
3. If the complainant is making allegations against fellow colleagues of the same grade they will need the support of a supervisor and therefore have some form of personal relationship with that person and can always rely on there support.
Only my observations.
I have come to realize that some Caymanians in the workplace, take exception to being told what to do, or how to do it, as if they are being personally insulted.
That is not limited to Caymanians. Some from overseas who have the ears of their supervisor’s manager for reasons only known to them both (but rumored to be of a nefarious nature) act as if they are indispensable and ignore the Caymanian supervisor. Seems they are protected by some secret, since they get benefits that no Caymanian has received.
🎯
Wow, Tundi at 9:23 am, I didn’t think it was actually possible to hit the same nail on the head three times, but it looks like you have done it!
Very astute of you…..I’m sure things are never as cut and dry as they seem.
The Anti Corruption Commission has a board of directors consisting of highly professionally qualified people. Surely they should be looking to see what is going on?
Time for the biggest bully to get the sack.
Mr. Roper has had a heavy hand against the decent people of Cayman since day one.
This place is out of control.
In government people think bullying is when your manager assigns you work.
name one decent person
There are thousands, the ones you look down your nose at every day.
11:17 that’s exactly right. you can’t name a single one. rumor spreading fool!
Bobo Ebanks.
Cayman has gotten so corrupt and dysfunctional we have exceeded Ancient Rome – we now need to ask not only who will oversee the overseers, but who will oversee the ACC, supposedly the cleans hands who will protect us from the corrupt police and government.
You can’t make this stuff up. Embarrassing is the only word that comes to mind that I can post here.
Weds is National Ask a Stupid Question Day, so here’s my participation.
Mr Roper, what is the primary purpose of your appointment here and how much of it are you satisfied that it’s been fulfilled ?
He has highlighted same sex marriage, created a standing army, turned a blind eye to corruption and learned the steel drums.
I’d say he’s batting at least 0.8.
His average shouldn’t be accentuated with a ‘steel drum’ pastime, that’s unprofessional statistic compilation, – what would the average be without it ? ⚾️🧢
Not a good look for the Governor and ACC unit
Foreign Office needs to audit the Governor’s office to get to bottom of all these bad headlines and cover ups that have been taking place. It is very embarrassing to everybody except those in charge or involved.
Time for Roper and Manderson to go they have lost the plot. The excuses are shocking.
Yes, I have to agree with you on Manderson….XXX He has caused many Caymanians to suffer because of his unfairness. There is no one to report him to. Try and you will be black listed.
6:06 Roper and Manderson are true heroes.
They don’t bend to pressure and make decisions to make themselves popular. Doing the right thing has a price. Ask Martin Luther King.
Thank you Governor and DG. We love you. Don’t change, keep upsetting the neanderthals.
Just Another Day in Absurdistan
They aren’t police officers and aren’t attached to the RCIPS. They are government workers.
Who is now on the ACC?
It is all very secretive and achieves nothing other charging than Watson every year for something to keep them in the headlines
Apparently you need to be a golfing partner to get recruited.
Where’s my putter.
ACC is a complete joke that includes the board members, the investigating unit, the staff and overall priorities. It is selective in what matters it investigates and makes a priority. All directed by the Governor
Wow. Bullying?
banter that could not be handled and the male ego. not a good combination
Yup. When they have finished investigating that, perhaps they can look into various commissions, planning permissions, explosives importations and status grants? Oh, and that whole First Cayman Bank thingy. Thanks.
It’s much more common than you think throughout government
Status Grants?
Stan Thomas?
First Cayman Bank?
Planning Permissions?
Explosives?
Commissions?
