I was gratified to hear that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will be meeting today (13) to examine the three latest reports from the Auditor General (Aud.G), Alistair Swarbrick.
Moses Kirkconnell, chairman of PAC, said he has called a meeting of the specialist legislative committee to discuss the reports. These are
a)    unlawful spending on paving private [...]

I am not a lawyer nor have I had any inclinations to be nor ever wanted to be a member of that profession. I have no legal training, except in the field of building contract and landlord and tenant law I had to do years (and years) ago to become a qualified quantity surveyor.
I, nevertheless, [...]

With even more revelations concerning bribery (see our lead story today “More serious allegations made about CHEC”) that was sent to us by Jamaica’s Office of the Contractor General (OCG), and the mounting questions concerning the suitability of China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) to construct our port project, the premier’s office issued a statement saying [...]

With eight cases already reported here between January and March compared to only one last year this would seem to show a rise of 700%.

An article I read in the Caymanian Compass on Friday (1) showed a jubilant figure of John Felder holding up his first Chevrolet Volt vehicle licence from the Cayman Islands Department of Vehicles and Drivers Licensing.
“This is like a dream come true,” he is reported as saying.
But the dream hasn’t come true. It will not [...]

It is not surprising that the Hon. Rolston Anglin, Cayman Islands Education Minister, is refusing to make any comment or statement concerning his single vehicle crash on Wed May 23rd.
In the early hours of that fateful morning, the minister drove his car into a ditch near to the Avalon apartment complex on the West Bay [...]

I am somewhat pleased and surprised the abuse of government’s Gasboy fuel card system is  resurfacing. After the Auditor General Dan Duguay’s original report highlighted an abuse of around $500,000 that COULD have been fraudulently obtained from government’s fuel station in North Sound. Mr. Duguay thought at least one third of the transactions he reviewed [...]

With another road death at the weekend where speed could have been a factor are we doing enough here to educate the public, especially the 17 – 29 years old bracket, the dangers of excessive speeding.
Is enough crash data collected by the RCIPS and do the officers who collect the data at the crash site [...]
