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.

    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.

    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.
