(CNS): Deputy Governor Franz Manderson has been admitted to hospital where he successfully underwent an emergency medical procedure Wednesday morning and is now recuperating. No other details have been released by government officials, who confirmed Manderson was in an undisclosed hospital following concerns circulating in the community and on social media.

“We are grateful for the public’s outpouring of support and cooperation in allowing his family some privacy at this time,” officials from his office stated.

Government officials have declined to reveal any further information as to how serious his condition is or where the deputy governor is being treated.

    Of course it’s undisclosed… because he is not in the Government Hospital.

    What is the succession protocol for civil service? Is there a named Deputy Deputy, and are they stepping-in, or does the civil service go on hiatus until there is a health and wellness determination? Thoughts and prayers and all that, but the public should also be assured that there is continuity plan in place.

      They will never make a non Caymanian Chief Officer as acting DG. Apartheid Cayman style.

      The Deputy Governor has Chief Officers that act in his capacity when he is on leave, whether that be sick or vacation. In this case, one of them (most likely Gloria McField-Nixon) will step in until his return. God forbid the Deputy Governor passes away, the role will be advertised just like other Government positions. His Chief Officers are briefed weekly and are always up to date on matters should they need to step in.

        We trust that Gloria McField-Nixon will fill his role for as long as it takes.

        They used to have a Deputy Chief Secretary who filled in for the Chief Secretary(now Deputy Governor)?. Please bring that post back so we know who the successor is supposed to be at all times.

        One of the hardest lessons a leader must learn is how to challenge, update, and change long-standing beliefs and behaviors that have served them well in the past but aren’t sufficient for future success.

      When the Deputy Governor is indisposed, the next most Senior Civil Servant Steps in…I think that is Jennifer Ahearn or Gloria McField-Myles

      Very ignorant comment by someone who clearly is not aware there are many who stand in for the DG when he is ill or on leave.

      “Thank God”? So wouldnt this “God” you speak of have willed the medical condition, so then why “thank” this “God”?

      No idea how some rational people in the 21st century can believe still believe in this nonsense. Personally, I am sticking with Hercules and Zeus as my invisible imaginary characters.

        You are the wrong kind of non-believer, or maybe you are an atheist. Whatever you believe is fine by me.

        I myself doubt the existence of God. I keep an open mind while trying to live as a good, charitable and empathetic person. What I don’t do is ridicule other people’s beliefs and that’s where you are wrong.

        Anonymously, you have shown yourself to be an arrogant and insensitive. What happened to respect and decency?

        More importantly, I wish my friend a speedy recovery- as did 2:41. Best wishes Franz.

          It’s funny because…imagine if folks who pray for other people and then announce it in a public forum took this sage advice to heart.

        Why are you typing on an electronic media then? Can you see the binary bits flowing from your keyboard or device to the server and going around the world etc? You obviously believe that, so leave others to their belief of a higher power that is also invisible that gives them hope to cope in a world full of negative people and issues.

          Yeah cause Christian’s are all about respecting other peoples beliefs.

          Please enlighten us, what does a comment on cns proclaiming you’re praying for someone, do for anybody but yourself? No need to be rude or dismissive, a simple logical explanation and evidence of proof would win over so many ppl over but you rather get defensive about believing whatever myth you want to believe. Crazy part is you actually probably think your comparison makes sense. If you can believe in jehovah, then why can’t I believe that you are irrational and illogical? Why get mad at people for questioning your belief. Instead of some nonsensical comparison to defend yourself, you could actually answer some questions and maybe if it makes sense you will convince someone.

          That NEVER happens tho cause it’s a myth and I think ppl that have reached that conclusion are frustrated that we have to cater and at times be controlled by ppl that can’t exercise critical thinking. It’s frustrating and frankly scary for some ppl.

          If you could prove that the christian god exists and answers prayers…. You would have responded totally different. The fact that you defensive Christians can’t see that, is literally the problem.

          Lifehack- nobody will question your beliefs if you keep ‘em to your self. Your welcome.

            There is nothing irrational or illogical about belief. Our survival depends on it. You can believe in the big bang theory if you want but there is no proof of that either. Mankind is especially good at designing laws of physics as explanations, we accept them and work with them. Logic is not without fault either it is a thought process. Eastern cultures have different thought processes than western civilization. Your arguments are driven by emotion, and you generalize for all Christians. Relax, enjoy the life you have been given whether you believe ordained by God or a random assembly of atomic matter.

            This public form is not intended solely for the purpose of ridicule and destruction. It offers too, a vehicle in which one can offer support and comfort in time of challenge. If a religious believer wishes to send a message of comfort, I support their right to do so, whether they conform to my beliefs or not.
            To those who offer comfort, amen to that.

        It isn’t ‘some’ rational people, it is billions. You are free to believe what you want just as those who believe have the same right, so perhaps try a little respect.

          Most believers go to hospital when they sick, because they know God do not heal anyone.the few that refuse to go to the Doctor and stay home and pray , all dies. Facts are facts.

            Most stupid argument of the day. If I go to a mechanic to get my car fixed is that because I know God can’t fix it? Please have your IQ tested, you may qualify for assistance. And because you say ‘facts are facts’ does not make it a fact, don’t say ‘all dies’ when there is no way you can know that it is true.

        The existence of God does not depend on whether or not you believe. One day you will come face to face with God and I pray that you would have change your position before then. May God have mercy on you and bless you. May God bless Mr. manderson and bring him back to good health.
