OPPOSITION WALKS OUT OF LA MEETING

NEOC PREPARES FOR HURRICANE

SEASON

INSIDETHIS ISSUE

Members of the Of�icial Opposition today walked out of the Legislative As-sembly meeting in what they described as a protest of the Unity Government using their majority to prevent the Op-position’s rights to raise motions and questions.

In a joint statement outlining their course of action, the opposition MLAs led by Hon. Arden McClean state that “although noti�ied regarding today’s meeting, no opportunity was given for private Members business to be al-lowed, per their rights to do so.

The argue that “instead, the Govern-ment decided to only discuss amend-ments to several bills required ahead of the upcoming Caribbean Financial Ac-tion Taskforce inspection.”

By Flynn Bush

On Tuesday, May 19, 2020, the Caymanian community was dealt another blow as one of our heroes passed on to her eternal reward. Al-though she never quite made it to her centennial birthday, Mrs. Olive Miller packed a few centuries worth of living into her time on this earth. Originally here as a missionary, she met and married her Caymanian sweetheart and, after a short time away, returned to Cayman. From the moment she set foot on our soil she embraced this country.

The National Emergency Operations Centre(NEOC), set up just under three months ago, is being hailed as a singular success in its short lifespan coordinat-ing the Cayman Islands response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The NEOC was set up on March 3rd to be the hub of “an intensive multi-sec-toral collaborative approach to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic with the primary focus of containing the virus in order to preserve life.”

Reporting to the Legislative Assembly on its achievements to date, Hon. Tara Rivers in her capacity as Home Affairs minister, credited the NEOC with al-ready living up to its remit which she

described as “unprecedented in the Cay-man Islands.”

Listing “a myriad of challenges” the NEOC has had to deal with daily, she mentioned planning and operating the government’s isolation control facilities which have accommodated 473 persons since March 18th.

It also distributed thousands of items of PPE (personal protective equipment) in the community including supermar-kets, an runs its communications out-reach.

The Home Affairs Minister also cred-ited the NEOC with giving Cayman a

CIGTV GUIDEFOR WEEK OF MAY 26-29Four staff members test

positive at Kirk Home CentreOn Thursday evening Kirk Home

Centre advised that they have received con�irmation from the Health Services Authority that 4 members of staff have tested posi-tive for COVID-19 following a com-panywide screening test. These staff members are all asymptomat-ic and will be in isolation in accord-ance with the guidelines required by the Health Services Authority.

They indicated that their com-pany will ensure that everything possible will be done to assist these members of staff during their isolation period. The protection of our staff and customers is their top priority and all members of staff have been required to wear company issued Personal Pro-tective Equipment since they were ap-proved to re-open on May 4th, 2020. Sanitation protocols throughout their store are a regular part of their daily routines and each evening a third par-ty janitorial service provides additional cleaning and sanitation in accordance with the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States.

All cashiers serve the public from be-hind a plexiglass screen and all shopping carts are sanitized regularly throughout the day. In addition, they provide hand sanitizer to each customer entering the store. On Thursday evening their janito-rial provider performed an even more thorough sanitation and disinfection service. Therefore, they were able to open to the public on Friday morning.

They thanked their customers for their support as they all learn to manage this public health crisis and will contin-ually review their sanitation procedures to ensure the safest possible working and shopping environment.

Hurricane Shelter Volunteers Need

The Department of Children and Fam-ily Services (DCFS) is seeking persons, ages 18 years and older, to train as hur-ricane shelter volunteers. There is a spe-cial need for volunteers to support the eastern districts shelters.

Interested persons will take part a Zoom training session organised by the department in partnership with Hazard Management Cayman Islands. The re-mote meeting on Wednesday, 27 May 2020 will include how to:

• manage a shelter• monitor sheltered persons, and

• provide shelter updatesTo �ind out more details and to sign up,

please email [email protected] or [email protected] by no later than 11 am on Tuesday, 26 May.

Displaced Tourism Employees Requested to Register with

Ministry of TourismThe Ministry of District Administra-

tion, Tourism and Transport recognises the economic impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the jurisdiction’s tourism industry. As such, all displaced Caymanian tourism employees are en-couraged to register with the Ministry of Tourism by �illing out the online reg-istration form that can be found on tour-ismregistration.ourcayman.ky.

The Minister of Tourism Hon. Moses Kirkconnell stated that: “While we have been consistently in touch with our sec-tor throughout the current pandemic, it is important that my government has a clear picture of exactly how many Cay-manians in the tourism sector have been economically impacted. The Ministry is committed to doing all it can to assist those in need and this information will

help us to determine how best we help persons who have lost their jobs and thus their livelihood.”

Displaced Caymanian tourism em-ployees are asked to complete the on-line registration form as soon as pos-sible and must be completed online at tourismregistration.ourcayman.ky.

Mrs. Olive had so much ambition and drive to get things done and improve conditions for others. She drew on her faith and believed that it was a privilege to serve. Her nephew, MLA Mr. Ezzard Miller, remembered her response when someone asked her if she thought she was working too hard. “It’s not work,” she replied. “I have been called by God to do this.” That was the essence of her spirit.

So much can be attributed to her in this country. Undoubtedly, the Girls Bri-gade, the NCVO, the Pines Retirement Home, the Cayman Island High School (later to become Cayman Prep and High School), the Pink Ladies Volunteer Corps, the �irst newspaper, and the es-tablishment of childcare centers can be attributed to her. However, this is not an all-inclusive list. She also worked be-hind the scenes in so many ways, often preferring not to take credit for her con-tributions.

Upon news of her passing, The Girls Brigade sent out a tribute to her. One

statement sums up Mrs. Mill-er’s life nicely. “Ms. Olive im-pacted the lives of thousands of people in this country in so many ways and for those of us in GB we are so very grateful for her life. She lived her life with a steadfast faith in God; she was a leader in every sense of the word.”

Now, Ms. Olive has received recognition and accolades dur-ing her lifetime. For instance, she has received the Queen’s Certi�icate and Badge of Hon-our (1967); the Golden Apple Lifetime Achievement Award (2009); The Member of British Empire (MBE, in 1997); Order of the British Empire (OBE, in 2018); and was one of the �ive Distinguished Women in His-tory (2003). That is quite an impressive list. However, any-one who knew her would tell you that, even with all those awards, it is not even close to the true recognition and respect that is due Ms. Olive.

Today, as we remember Mrs. Olive Hil-da Miller, the world is a little less bright. Her light is no longer here, but her memo-ry remains. While she lived, however, she

left plenty of examples of to truly live a life dedicated to service. She will be great-ly missed. May her soul rest in peace; and may her legacy continue to grow.

The R3 Cayman Foundation, a pri-vate sector-led fund announced by His Excellency the Governor Martyn Roper, has appointed Bryan Hunter as its duly elected Chairman.

“I am pleased to announce that R3 Cayman Foundation is now formally incorporated as a Foundation Compa-ny and registered as a non-pro�it or-ganisation,” Mr. Hunter said. “While

we continue to �inalise the infrastruc-ture required to receive and distribute funds, our board of directors is working diligently to map the priority areas for COVID-19 related funding and hurri-cane preparedness.”

The board has established three main strategic committees corresponding with the Foundation’s key areas of focus: Readiness, chaired by Mr. Richard Hew;

Relief, chaired by Mr. Woody Foster; and Recovery, chaired by Mrs. Joannah Bod-den Small. Additionally, the fundraising committee will be chaired by Mr. Chris Duggan, the marketing and public rela-tions committee will be chaired by Mrs. Nicoela McCoy, and the �inance commit-tee will be chaired by Ms. Sheenah His-lop (who also serves as the Foundation’s Treasurer).

Persons interested in donating to the Foundation should contact: [email protected]

Further updates on how to apply for assistance will be communicated in the coming weeks.

positive international pro�ile for its management of the COVID-19 crisis locally.

“The tireless efforts of these teams, which include the HSA (Heath Services Authority), have helped the Cayman islands to be ranked among the top seven in the world for testing per capita,” Min. Rivers con�irmed.

With the onset of the hurricane season, she said the newly developed expertise within the NEOC from its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, coupled with existing disaster preparedness capabilities locally, put the Cayman Islands in good stead.

“While this pandemic has presented challenges never seen before it has also provided an opportu-

nity for the review and re�inement of existing pre-paredness mitigation and response and reactivation plans.”

Against that background, Min Rivers concluded that: “Given that our national disaster response mechanism has been fully activated for our two months now - 77 days to be exact - and with improvements in opera-tions having occurred over time, it is highly likely that as a country we have never been ready as we are now for an upcoming hurricane season.”

With a two-day hurricane preparedness exercise taking place across Wednesday and Thursday, Min. Rivers outlined that the NEOC was contributing its newly-developed and �ield-tested skill sets into this annual operation.

“Teams within the NEOC will focus on ensuring that a wide range of the COVID-19 related considerations are incorporated into the hurricane plans” across a range of areas including shelter management.

The outlook is for an above-normal Atlantic hurri-cane season. One pre-season storm, Arthur has already developed and moved north of the Bahamas last week-end.

The Home Affairs Minister said: "While the seasonal forecast suggests that this will be an active hurricane season", she was con�ident that "the lessons learned and enhanced ways of working that have been attained over the last few months will stand us in good stead and will enable us to actively deal with any threats that lie ahead."

NEOC PUTS CAYMAN IN GOOD STEAD FOR HURRICANE SEASON

... Continued story from page 1

Firstly, I wish to thank everyone from all Ministries and the Departments that have been working with and alongside the Health Services Authority, Hazard Management Cayman Islands and all our �irst response agencies to deal with the COVID-19 challenge we are currently tackling; and in doing so performing to the high standards expected of a world class civil service. I also wish to thank The Governor’s Of�ice and UK SAT Team for their continued support. We are all doing our part and can be truly proud of what we have achieved to date!

COVID-19 has led to the full-scale ac-tivation of the Cayman Islands National Emergency Operations Centre which has now been fully operational for well over two months. This is unprecedented for the Cayman Islands.

This has been an incredibly challeng-ing time for us all, with no clear end yet in sight. Many of the people in this room have worked tirelessly and cou-rageously nearly every day since the beginning. I want you to know that the whole country greatly appreciates the

work you’re all doing, including those on the frontline. We all depend on you and you have not let us down.

We are strong, we are willing, we are determined, and we are God Fearing; and together we are achieving amazing results. We are in the top 7 in the world for testing, we’ve created �ield hospitals, world class communications and excel-lent resource support. Without letting up – we are staying focused, even though almost every day we are presented with never before seen challenges.

Despite all the dif�iculties the people of the Cayman Islands have faced this year, we continue to persevere. On top of what you are currently facing head on with Coronavirus, yet another hazard looms.

If we continue to keep COVID-19 at bay, I believe in many ways, our current activation works in our favour as we ap-proach the start of the season that pre-sents the number one threat to life and property in the Cayman Islands.

It gives us an opportunity to engage with, and also look past, our current response for COVID and the mitigation

measures in place for other threats and consider our state of readiness. It forces us to build our resilience and fortitude, and with our whole mechanism already fully activated, we have probably never been as ready for a hurricane as we are right now.

This experience has undoubtably made us all stronger! I want you to re-sist the temptation to back down at this point as we look to carry the momentum we’ve created forward as we prepare for hurricane season. I ask you to look at this as a tremendous opportunity to make ourselves more resilient than we have ever been before. If we just spend a few minutes each day considering that threat, and how it relates to COVID-19, we will build our capacity and strength as a team.

Now is not the time to let up and rest on our laurels. I am challenging each of us to ask ourselves, our families, and es-pecially our Emergency Support Teams (ESTs) and Clusters here in the NEOC – what are we doing to build capacity and resilience?

We are in a unique position to really start to factor in ways to reduce our core vulnerabilities and to put our collective minds together to overcome the chal-lenges – and if we do that - we will get even stronger.

So, right now I want us to up the ante and build on the successes we have al-ready had as a team. Thank you, and God Bless you all and these fair Cayman Isles.

Tips of the Week Motivational Tip

The Power of MusicDo not underestimate the power

of music. Music can heal the sick, mend the broken heart, relieve stress and even help you to live longer. Just ask some of our seniors who are still playing music and dancing. They will agree that music has added value to their life and also a few more years. After a long stressful day, close your eyes turn on your iPod or CD player and just enjoy the mellowing sounds of music. If you have energy left you may even dance a jig.

Live longer. Live happier. Live life to its fullest with MUSIC.

Health TipDrinking alcohol and Blood

PressureDrinking too much alcohol can

raise blood pressure to unhealthy levels. Having more than three drinks in one sitting temporarily increases your blood pressure, but repeated binge drinking can lead to long-term increases.

Heavy drinkers who cut back to moderate drinking can lower their systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) by 2 to 4 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and their diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number in a blood pressure reading) by 1 to 2 mm Hg. Heavy drinkers who want to lower blood pressure should slowly reduce how much they drink over one to two weeks. Heavy drinkers who stop suddenly risk developing severe high blood pressure for several days.

If you have high blood pressure, avoid alcohol or drink alcohol only in moderation. Moderate drinking is generally considered to be:

- Two drinks a day for men younger than age 65

- One drink a day for men age 65 and older

- One drink a day for women of any age

A drink is 12 ounces (355 milliliters) of beer, 5 ounces (148 milliliters) of wine or 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) of 80-proof distilled spirits.

Keep in mind that alcohol contains calories and may contribute to unwanted weight gain — a risk factor for high blood pressure.

Also, alcohol can interfere with the effectiveness and increase the side effects of some blood pressure medications.

To help importers start using a system for entry declaration, the Department will start registering importers starting Monday, 16 October 2017.

The registration is required by the implementation of a new online electronic system for entry declaration. Effective 1 November 2017, the Cayman Islands Customs Department will implement the new system. This will require importers to complete and submit entries electronically to Customs using the new gateway portal COLS (Customs Online System). Importers will be able to access the portal through the website www.customs.gov.ky.

For individuals who have not yet received training in the use of the system, Customs will provide in-house training. However, before they can use COLS, importers will have to be formally registered and recognised as an importer by Customs.

This will require each individual to come in and provide Customs with relevant information including a government-issued identification, e.g., driver’s licence or passport. Additionally, it will be necessary for companies and businesses to provide their business licence and/or companies registration including directorship.

As a result, Customs will begin the registration process starting Monday, 16 October through 27 October 2017, from 8:30am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday. Registration will take place on the 1st floor of Customs Headquarters, located at #42 Owens Roberts Drive (locally known as Airport Road).

However, if they miss this period to be registered, Customs will continue to register importers during normal business hours. Although most importers were previously registered in the old system, it is necessary for all importers to be registered in the new system. Once registered with Customs, importers can then submit entries electronically and do business with Customs, without having to attend in person.

Cayman Islands Customs Management thanks importers for their cooperation and understanding and looks forward to continued partnership.

Fishermen around Grand Cayman have had much reason to celebrate as they have now joined their counterparts in Cayman Brac and Little Cayman on the high seas.

A profusion of pictures and videos has been making the rounds, depicting per-sons show-ing their catch to friends and family, as the Cayman Islands’ residents seek to return to normal life after nearly two months of COVID-19, lockdown re-strictions.

Just last week, calls for �ishing restric-tions to be lifted had reached a fevered pitch, as Caymanians were growing in-creasingly eager to get back on the wa-ter, with several pockets of protest pop-ping up both on the streets and online.

On Tuesday, 19 May however, �ishing from the shoreline or a boat was permit-ted be-tween the hours of 5:15am and 7pm any day except Sunday.

All marine rules apply, including closed seasons, take limits, and restric-tions on �ishing in certain zones.

Many in the community said they are anxious to see whether the time indoors and away from the water has caused �isheries to replenish and if there will be more ‘action’.

“I know they’re going to be biting.. That’s for sure,” noted Mr. Timothy Wat-son, who added that he was grateful to have the ability to provide for his family.

The Rules for �ishing are as follows:• Shoreline �ishing is permitted• If in a boat, only two people per

boat

• Large commercial �ishing boats may operate in addition to other cargo vessels

• Listen to the weather report and ad-here to small craft warnings

• Always take a working vhf radio and a fully charged cell phone

• Ensure you have a life vest for each person on the boat

• No party boats• No boating allowed on Sunday• No more than 2 people per boat• Do not leave the Cayman Islands’

territorial waters, otherwise both pas-

sengers on the boat will be subject to quarantine by the Government upon re-turn

• No high-speed watercraft• No congregating, boating or �ishing

at Star�ish Point, Rum Point, Sandbar or Stingray City

• You may not operate or maneuver a boat so as to congregate or gather with any other person on any other boat or vessel.

Grand Cayman is hoping to join Cay-man Brac and Little Cayman with regard

to lesser restrictions. Currently, the Sis-ter Islands have been gradually taken off more drastic pre-vention measures.

“All restrictions have been lifted in Lit-tle Cayman and I suspect Cayman Brac is not far behind, noted Premier, the Honourable Alden McLaughlin at a re-cent Cayman Islands Government press brie�ing.”

There are currently no known cases of COVID-19 in Little Cayman, while there have been two known cases in Cayman Brac.

Premier Alden McClaughlin ripped into member of the Of�icial Opposition on Tuesday calling them “child-ish” for walking out a meeting off the Legislative As-sembly.

The meeting was discussing a package of legislation for the �inancial sector especially dealing with inter-national regulatory and compliance issues especially regarding the virtual assets blockchain technology sec-tor.

The opposition claim they were denied the right to have a number of matters they wanted to address brought to the �loor of the Assembly.

They also claimed that aspects of the rules govern-ing the functioning of the Legislative Assembly where not being adhered to thereby impeding their right to be informed in a timely manner so as to prepare for the sitting.

But in countering the claims made by the opposition, Premier McClaughlin gave a scathing rejection of their claims.

In He accused them of misplaced priorities and a misundertanding of parliamentary and failing to grasp parliamentary and legislative procedures.

“This country remains in the midst of a national pub-lic health emergency, and arising from that we are also in an economic emergency,” he stated.

“One of the two pillars of the economy, tourism, has collapsed and therefore the importance of �inancial services is even more important than it was ever be-fore in hour history.

Against that background, Mr McClaughlin ques-tioned in very strong terms: “On a day like this, in a time like this and in a situation ike this, paid members of this Legislative Assembly, including the Leader of the Opposition packed up his papers and walked out before one word is said in relation to these critically important pieces of legislation.”

Wondering if the opposition members had “gone �ishing” he charged, “they are paid to be here to do the people’s business,” adding that, “it is really ironic that the leader of the opposition complained bitterly about

the lack of notice in his view of this meeting in his view, a having impeded his colleagues ability and to do the people’s peoples business.

Continuing on the �ishing analogy, he asked rhetori-cally: “How are they doing the country’s business out �ishing or doing whatever they are doing this after-noon?”

The Premier challenged the assertions by the Leader of the Opposition on elements of the Standing Orders concerning the calling of meetings and submission of questions.

“The leader of the Oppositions submissions about breaches of the Standing Orders was quite frankly rub-bish, utter nonsense, drivel,” he countered.

While conceding to Opposition leader Arden Mc-Clean on the point of timely noti�ication, the Premier however said: “Even though the circumstances today are less than ideal from an opposition point, the in-temperate remarks from the Leader of the Opposition and the childish withdrawal of the opposition from the chamber and from the business of the house at a time like this when what for the house are critical pieces of legislation to help bolster the �inancial services indus-try on which we are now more reliant than ever, cannot be possibly be justi�ied or warranted.

In a coup de grace comment, Premier McLaughlin who is in his �inal term constitutionally and heads the PPM (People’s Progressive Movement)-led govern-ment had this parting shot:

“That sort of irresponsible behaviour is why the leader of the opposition and his team belong now and forever on this side of the house. They are not capable of appreciating the signi�icance of what we are doing and the importance of not trying to build a political platform on the back of a national crisis such as we are in.

“They are casting about trying to �ind something that may gain some traction while the government - the public service and private sector - are working hard to help pull this country through this crisis, the length of which no one can estimate.”

Accusing the opposition of “mixed up priorities”, Mr McLaughlin is full political counter attack accused the opposition of “scrambling about trying to get an elec-tion date �ixed.”

“Do you think the people are focused on when the election date is?” he asked, offering the answer that “they are worrying about keeping themselves well and where the next paycheck will come from.”

PREMIER WALKS ALL OVER OPPOSITION WALKOUT

Premier Alden McClaughlin

The Cayman Islands is moving to bol-ster its �inancial services sector with a package of legislation aimed at placing it at the forefront of the developing virtual assets market.

At the same time, in piloting the laws under the heading of the Virtual Assets Legislation, the Hon. Minister for Finan-cial Services, Tara Rivers underscored that the objective was also to safeguard the territory against illegal activity tar-geting the emerging sector.

Stringent demands are being imposed by international regulators especially the global watchdog, the Financial Ac-tion Task Force (FATF).

NEW LUCRATIVE SECTORThe technology-driven Virtual Assets

sector built on blockchain digital tech-nology, another recent innovation, is poised to be a dominant player in the global �inancial services sector.

In tabling a series of bills in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, the Financial Services Minister Rivers stated:

“This bill along with four other bills forms a legislative package which aims to attract legitimate business to our shores by providing participants with the �irm foundation on which to provide virtual asset services as well as to meet international anti-money laundering and �inancing of terrorism standards (ALFT) established by the Financial Ac-tion Task Force (FATF) for this relatively new industry.”

She explained that “these technolo-gies have the potential to make �inancial markets more ef�icient, facilitate access to products and services and offer dis-enfranchised individuals new opportu-nities and methods to access �inancial services.”

The new sector is regarded as having the potential of being a lucrative eco-nomic addition to Cayman's successful offshore �inancial services industry, one of the territories two main economic pillars - the other being tourism which

is currently in the doldrums due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Min. Rivers: “Financial markets are changing at a rapid pace and enterprises are investing billions of dollars in an attempt to remain at the forefront of this evolving trend.”

Outlining the scale of the global sec-tor, the Financial Services Minister said recent data shows that the equivalent of over one trillion US dollars was trans-acted using digital assets.

She also stated that over 371 billion dollars has realised by Virtual Asset is-suances in 2019 alone.

The legislation is also aimed at ensur-ing that the technology underpinning the sector is secure.

FIRST HURDLES CLEAREDThe legislation was generally accept-

ed although without the input of the Of-�icial Opposition which had walked out of the sitting in objection to procedural issues including matters it wanted to have debated in the Assembly and inad-equate noti�ication of the meeting.

Among the issues of concern raised, MLA for Northside, Ezzard Miller won-dered why it took so long to bring the legislation to the Assembly since a re-port into the sector was done since March 2019.

"Are these bills the sum total of what was required under the review of our �inancial industry back in March 2019 ...and why it took so long to get the bills here," he asked.

Mr Miller also questioned if the bill could be broadened in scope to cover illegal online gambling. he also queried how the fees for the sector were deter-mined as it appeared to him that the �inancial industry had an overly in�lu-ential voice in setting the fees to their advantage.

He also sought clari�ication of a provi-sion in the legislation which allows the waiving of fees.

In pledging his support for what he called "new avenues for the �inancial

services," Hon. independent MLA for George Town Cen-tral, Kenneth Bryan said the timing of Caymans entry into the sector was oppor-tune.

"It allows our �inancial services industry to take advantage of that growing opportunity in the world of �inance", he said, adding that the legislation also pro-vides a safety framework underpinned by law.

"If we expect to stay ahead of the game this is an area which we had to embark on and to be prepared to cover the risk that some along with it," the independent MLA stated.

CAYMAN AT THE FOREFRONT

More detail on the necessity and ur-gency of the package of legislation was provided by the Hon. Attorney General Samuel Bulgin.

He explained that the Cayman Islands is subject to "the ever-changing, ev-er-evolving standards" of the regulators of the global �inancial services sector, adding that at the time of the most re-cent review of March 2019, virtual as-sets were not included in standards on which the territory was evaluated.

Mr Bulgin disclosed that wasn't in-cluded until June 2019.

"We are here today, but I can guaran-tee that we will be back here with other amendments to legislation to satisfy the ever-changing needs of the FATF."

He described the new legislation and amendments as "yet another example of the Cayman Islands being at the fore-front of the global �ight against money laundering, terrorist �inancing and the �inancing of the proliferation of weap-ons of mass destruction."

Attorney General Bulgin also pointed out that while some other jurisdictions have shied away from the Virtual Assets sector, the Cayman Islands "have seen

the wisdom and I daresay the prudence in welcoming and embracing the change while ensuring that adequate measures are implemented which effectively limit the opportunities for any abuse."

DEADLINE MET... JUST IN TIME

Meanwhile, in explaining the urgen-cy of the meeting, Hon, Premier Alden McClaughlin disclosed that the meas-ures were coming into force against a deadline of the 25th of May to meet requirements set by international reg-ulators.

"We are going through a re-rating ap-plication process and the Attorney Gen-eral on behalf of the government would need to provide an application and a re-port of where we are on the legislative front with respect to this by the 25th of this month."

On the timing of the meeting, Premier McLaughlin reported that Cayman was at risk of missing the deadline hence he expedited the calling of the meeting as the legislation debated was a crucial element of the submission the territory had to make.

That was one of the triggers for a dispute, with the Of�icial Opposition staging a walkout of the meeting on the basis that they were given inadequate noti�ication.

"When I realised that we had not called the meeting even though we put the bills out, I scrambled as quickly as I could to do so. And so members did not get the usual time as they normal-ly would...and I regret that," Premier McLaughlin informed the Assembly.

But, he proceeded to chide the Of�icial Opposition for their decision to walk out of the meeting instead of staying to de-bate what he called "these critically im-portant pieces of legislation".

After the Financial Services Minis-ter Tara Rivers addressed the concerns raised by the independent opposition MLAs present, the Virtual Assets Legis-lation along with accompanying amend-ments to associated existing laws were passed.

CAYMAN PASSES NEW CYBER FINANCE LAW JUST IN TIME FOR FATF DEADLINE

Hon. Minister for Financial Services, Tara Rivers

The aggrieved opposition members referred to the situation as: “Regretta-bly, today’s legislative assembly session was a masterclass on the consequences of running the country as a lastminute.com.”

Elaborating on the package of legis-lation tabled today dealing with the �i-nancial services sector, they state that: “The Cayman Islands ended up on the EU Blacklist because the Government buried its head in the sand and refused to listen and now, we are in danger of being on the wrong side of the CFATF.”

The Opposition MLA group state that they “were in the process of �iling sev-eral motions and questions on issues that matter to every resident in this island and will impact their quality of life.”

These range from pensions to utili-ty bills which they said they wanted to bring to the �loor of the Assembly “that we needed to urgently discuss.”

These were: “The impact of the cur-few on smaller businesses; the disparity in retirement age between the private sector and the Civil Service; delay in ac-cessing pensions and the National Pen-

sion Report which is 10 years overdue; and the lack of action by Ofreg at a time when most people will be getting their largest bill ever from CUC, despite oil prices being at its lowest.”

The Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Arden McClean stated, “We are clearly walking on slippery slope regarding our constitutional democracy and its deeply regrettable, that the people entrusted to uphold these principles at all cost, are prepared to sacri�ice them in the name of political expediency.

“This misuse of majority power fur-ther erodes the established checks and balances that differentiate our democra-cy from a regime of totalitarianism,” he stated.

Mr McClean added: “The Opposition takes the responsibilities entrusted in it, by the people, seriously and will not participate in any proceedings which will curtail the rights of the minority by the majority.”

Alva Suckoo, MLA Newlands, said walking out of the Legislative Assembly was not an easy decision, but, he em-phasised “it was the right one.”

He said: “It shows our disappointment that the Government does not wish to honour our democratic principles and

allow the Opposition to raise concerns or challenge the government. The bad faith exhibited by the government, is the type of behaviour you would expect in countries headed by dictators. Every one of the Opposition members was duly elected and have to speak on behalf of our residents.”

Chris Saunders, MLA Bodden Town West accused the government of not wanting to be held accountable “despite accountability being a basic tenant of our democratic principles.”

“This level of arrogance by the Gov-ernment and their bad management, cannot be allowed to go unchecked. De-mocracy is not easy but it’s a far better system than a banana republic,” he add-ed.

The Bodden Town West MLA also stated: "I appreciate the Premier is on his way out, but we cannot allow him to insulate his leadership actions from scrutiny, especially as it is clear that his cabinet, does not have the fortitude to do so in the �irst place.”

Mr Saunders concluded his comments on today’s walkout by stating that, “This is a Constitutional democracy, not a parliamentary democracy and this is exactly why I had concerns about ad-

vancing the constitution to give the Cab-inet more power when they are already abusing what they have. Thank good-ness for civic-minded people and civic groups like CPR.”

Anthony Eden, MLA Savannah said: “History has shown us what happens when governments tries to suppress the voice of its people either directly or through their Opposition elected mem-bers.

Adding that “we all have a stake in our islands and deep abiding love for its prosperity,” Mr Eden felt “it is therefore regrettable, that the government does not wish to engage on those topics that matters the most to residents.”

Bernie Bush, MLA West Bay North defended the walkout saying that the members who quit the meeting “had no choice but to make a stand. The govern-ment cannot make up the rules as they see �it.”

“What good are rules and conventions if they are not followed for the sake of political expediency?” he asked.

Mr Bush said, “The PPM should be re-minded of their chorus against the UDP, ‘substance over process’. We all must be given a chance to represent our people and our constituencies.”

OPPOSITION WALKOUT OF LA MEETING... Continued story from page 1

Despite bleak forecasts for the tourist sector hard-hit by the Covid-19 pan-demic, a regional bank is committed to the sector and “will continue to be ac-tive” in supporting the Caribbean tour-ism industry.

Speaking recently during a webinar entitled, "Covid-19 and Investment in Caribbean Infrastructure", Adam Carter, Managing Director and Head, Invest-ment Banking at CIBC FirstCaribbean said the hospitality and hotel industry accounted for “a large part of our portfo-lio and we will continue to be active in it”.

He said tourism was the “lifeblood of the Caribbean” and the bank would con-tinue to focus on it, putting “time, effort and capital into the sector. That is not changing”. Mr. Carter said the bank has had “lots of requests for support and we are helping our clients through this storm”.

Mr. Carter said there was a need to im-prove some of the region’s tourism in-frastructure and this could be achieved through Public/Private Partnerships. He added that the region must “do all to improve its marketability so that when borders do re-open we are one of the �irst destinations visitors will want to come to”.

Fellow panelist S. Brian Samuel, Head, Public-Private Partnerships, Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), had earlier

warned that there may not be a quick rebound in regional tourism, neither long-stay or cruise arrivals. He further cautioned that the region needed to “adjust our tourism away from the mass market” as post-covid-19 may see less tourist arrivals.

He said the region was likely to see more high-end visitors as the cost of travel was expected to rise signi�icant-ly as the world economy was expected to slip into a recession worse than the 2008/09 one.

Diane Edwards, President, JAMPRO agreed with Samuels noting that the high-end part of the tourism market will continue and the “challenge for ho-tels will be what protocols will be put in place to ensure their safety”.

The panelist also noted that the region should continue its push toward major investment in renewable energy as well as building up healthcare infrastructure in the region.

The latter point was stressed by Ste-phen C. Beatty, Global Chairman, Infra-structure, and Chairman, Global Cities Center of Excellence at KPMG. He noted that the region now has a “huge opportu-nity to transform how healthcare is de-livered” by moving away from investing in building traditional hospitals and in-vesting signi�icantly in telemedicine and the technology to deliver it ef�iciently.

The webinar was moderated by Jon Whiteaker, Editor, IJGlobal.

The Governor’s Of�ice has con�irmed that the UK mili-tary’s Security Assistance Team (SAT) in Cayman has helped to obtain agreement for RFA Ar-gus to provide air cover with their helicopters for the Cay-man Islands for a two week period in June. This coincides with a period when the RCIPS Air Operations Unit will be without an aircraft.

The RCIPS Air Operations Unit has two H145 helicopters. One was in the USA to receive an upgrade of specialist equip-ment before the COVID crisis led to a cessation of work at the maintenance base there and the closure of borders.

The Air Operations Unit has been operating the remaining aircraft and �lying hours far in excess of normal operations in support of RCIPS COVID-19 related work, in particular as-sistance with curfew enforce-ment and border protection. The aircraft is now required to be off-island for a period of two weeks, for routine annual maintenance checks given the numbers of hours �lown. The SAT team has arranged for the helicopters from RFA Argus to provide cover while this work is carried out.

The Royal Navy helicopters will be operating from RFA Ar-gus and will work closely on taskings for the RCIPS. These will include border protection, anti-drug and weapons opera-tions and search rescue cover.

Governor Martyn Roper com-mented: “I am grateful for the work the SAT team has already done and the support they are providing on a number of is-sues. This includes helping to facilitate places for the �ive Cay-man Islands Regiment Of�icers who are heading to the UK on Saturday to attend the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. The arrangement for the Royal Navy to provide air cover to us, during the RCIPS helicopter’s maintenance run to the USA, is particularly welcome and a good example of the work that has been done. This assistance will ensure that our Islands and borders remain safe at a time of great uncertainty. The RCIPS Air Operations Unit have done a fantastic job since the start of this crisis, and will continue to work closely with the Navy dur-ing this deployment. They are old friends and have deployed together to the Bahamas in sup-port of operations following Hurricane Dorian last year.”

Cayman is moving slowly out of lock-down back to work, bringing employ-ees back into of�ices and other build-ings in a measured way that includes the introduction of social distancing and heightened sanitation, in order to help prevent the spread of the corona-virus. One company, LED Specialists, believes it has an important means by which business owners can ensure that their premises are kept free from all viruses and bacteria (not just coro-navirus), harnessing technology that employs UV lighting af�ixed to a robot to kill any such pathogens in the work-place.

A specially created robot is fast, ef�i-cient, simple to use and extremely effec-tive, eliminating 99.999 per cent of all bacteria within 10 minutes in a patient

room or standard white-collar of�ice, they said.

Safety in the workplaceKen Moore from LED Specialists, the

UVD Robot dealer for the Cayman Is-lands and the Caribbean, said there were two components that needed to be taken together to be effective safeguard against bacterial or viral transmission in a workplace: �irstly an employer must ensure that proper protocols are fol-lowed religiously, such as wearing face masks, frequently washing hands and ensuring social distancing. Secondly, the employer needed to provide a ster-ile environment, free of all viruses and bacteria for employees and customers in which to operate.

“The �irst component is a matter of practices and procedures created and enforced within a workplace and hope-

fully followed in public by all employ-ees. The second component, providing a pathogen-free, clean workplace is up to the employer,” Mr. Moore said.

An employer basically has two choic-es when it comes to cleaning the work-place: the conventional way which requires frequent spraying with a disin-fectant or sterilising with UV-C light.

Mr. Moore explained the bene�its of UV-C sterilisation versus conventional disinfecting: “Because UV sterilisation isn’t a wet solution like other disin-fectants that can leave behind residue, it can be used as a more ef�icient solu-tion for ensuring that equipment and instruments are effectively cleaned,” he said. “The sterility of the environment can also be compromised due to clean-ing staff not doing their job effectively each and every time. Liquid sterilising is time consuming to be done proper-ly, subject to human error, cannot be used well on porous materials (paper/fabric), and very labour intensive. It also exposes both your employees and cleaning staff repeatedly high doses of strong chemicals and the potential damage that these can cause to their health.”

By comparison, UV-C light (as op-posed to UV-A and UV-B light which we get naturally from the sun, but which are not so effective in killing pathogens) can disinfect a surface by damaging the DNA and RNA material in harmful bac-teria and viruses, which are then dam-aged beyond repair, neutralising them from replicating or harming anyone, he explained. Not a new science, UV steri-lisation has been around for a number of years, used to disinfect such things as water, air and work surfaces.

UVD robotTo create a portable UV-C light that

can disinfect services more ef�iciently and effectively than a human, a robot has been developed which has under-gone rigorous testing before becoming available to the public for purchase.

Mr. Moore said that the manufacturer, UVD Robots, was a Danish-based com-pany founded in 2016 that combined the latest technology in mobile robots with an ultraviolet light top module.

“The UVD Robot, clinically tested and veri�ied, is used as part of the regular cleaning cycle, and aims to prevent and reduce the spread of infectious diseas-es, viruses, bacteria, and other types of harmful organic microorganisms in the environment,” he stated.

It is necessary for a robot to under-take the UV-C light emission as direct exposure to UV-C light is harmful to both plants and animals, so the UVD Robot in-creases the safety of individuals who use the environment in which it operates. Ef-fective when used in larger work spaces when used as part of an evening main-tenance programme, the robot can effec-tively clean public and group areas out-side of normal business hours. It’s also a rechargeable, self-docking Smart-robot with built-in cameras, proximity and motion sensors with fully programma-ble, self-function capability that can follow pre-programmed routes to clean room after room without having endan-gering the well-being of cleaning staff.

UsesMr. Moore said the UVD Robot would

be useful for any business in Cayman looking to improve the cleanliness of their environment, including Govern-ment buildings that have a lot of public traf�ic, such as Planning, DMV, the librar-ies, police stations, Port distribution centre buildings, post of�ices, to name a few, he said. The Owen Roberts Inter-national Airport and Cayman Airways airplanes could also employ the robot as part of their nightly cleaning regimen, as could the cruise ship passenger port terminal, he said, as well as other large private companies that see a lot of foot traf�ic, such as banks, law �irms and ac-counting �irms.

“I think the thing to remember about the UV-C product is that it is not specif-ic to preventing the spread of just the Covid-19 virus, but all viral and bac-terial pathogens on an ongoing basis,” Mr. Moore said. “This helps prevent or minimise the spread of any infection from outside the of�ice to the rest of the employees, with or without social distancing. A device like the UVD robot should be part of an ongoing environ-mental cleaning protocol in an effort to help keep both your staff and customers healthy by creating a clean workspace.”

“We are so excited to celebrate this 10-year anniversary milestone with Intertrust. Over the years the team at Intertrust has demonstrated their sup-port for this race in so many ways; they have stayed the course, so to speak, and their partnership with the Cayman Is-lands Marathon has been integral to its success,” said Rhonda Kelly, Co-Race Director. “In these extraordinary times when so much is uncertain, the compa-ny’s decision to renew its sponsorship of the event has been reassuring and a sign of some semblance of normality. We are moving full steam ahead with preparations for the race in anticipation of a celebration of life and health come December.”

“Intertrust is proud to once again sponsor the Cayman Islands Mara-

thon, and this year, we are celebrating our decade-long commitment to the health and wellness of our employees and community as the premier spon-sor,” said Nadine Watler-Ritter, Man-aging Director Intertrust Cayman. “For the past 10 years, our employees and their families have enjoyed training for, running in and volunteering at the marathon, an event that is close to the hearts of so many Cayman Islands res-idents and visiting runners that travel to the island from all over the world each year to participate. This year, our 10th year, we’re more excited than ever to be the lead sponsor in one of Cayman’s most important and memo-rable events.”

Region starts gradual easing of lockdownThe Caribbean reacted relatively

quickly and ef�iciently in shutting down their borders to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and although the region is still dealing with cases, return to nor-mality is unfolding. Jamaica is preparing for a phased reopening of the tourism sector.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness said: "We’re already �iguring out ways how we can have controlled corridors of en-try, and how to move our tourists safely from airports to hotels, so that they can enjoy our lovely beaches and our love-ly people. That’s key towards providing the kind of service that people would need in the post-COVID environment." Anyone arriving in Jamaica currently must quarantine for 14 days, and there is no date for when this will end. Tour-ist attractions like Dunn’s River Falls are keen to reopen.

Barbados has a curfew from 8pm to 5am every day. This will be lifted on 31 May. Beaches began to open on 18 May, with limited hours of 6am to 9am and 4pm to 6:30pm. Anyone arriving in the country, visitors must quarantine for 14 days, and the authorities are carrying out

temperature checks at the airport. Brit-ish Airways will resume �lights to Bar-bados on 1 July. Saint Lucia announced that it will begin to open its borders to tourists from 4 June. Strict protocols have been put in place to protect both visitors and the local population. Visi-tors must have a certi�ied negative COV-ID-19 certi�icate to travel, and masks are compulsory while on the plane and in the airports. At hotels, guests will have their temperatures taken at mealtimes, while staff will have theirs tested at the beginning and end of every shift. Social distancing and regular hand washing will also be in operation, and there is a curfew from 9pm to 5am. The Bahamas is hoping to reopen its borders for tour-ism on 1 July - although Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis has made it clear that this date could change. He said: "Our re-sorts, our airports and our seaports are �inalising the health and safety proto-cols that will be necessary for us to pro-vide for a re-opening.” Antigua and Bar-buda will see British Airways resume �lights in July. All hotels in the country will be inspected by a team of tourism and health of�icials before they can re-

open for business. Grenada has not set a �irm date for reopening but is aiming for June. Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitch-ell said: "We will not move unless we are satis�ied that adequate health and safe-ty guidelines are in place." St Kitts and Nevis is currently not admitting anyone travelling or transiting from China, Iran, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea,

Japan, the EU, the UK, Switzerland, the USA or any Dutch or French territories in the Caribbean. Any other non-nation-al arrivals will be screened and must quarantine for 14 days. Cuba has con-�irmed that borders will remain closed for now, but that hotels and other ven-ues are busy preparing for a time when tourists can return.

Jamaica gets more health workers

Jamaica has recruited 1,300 new community health aids to strengthen the country's public health system under a new stra-tegic framework designed to ensure that the popula-tion can live their normal lives despite the presence of COVID-19. That means stretched medical servic-es will get invaluable sup-port.

Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton outlined in Parlia-ment what he termed the “new nor-mal” which, he said, is underpinned to protecting the population from harmful health outcomes, particular-ly vulnerable communities; ensuring productive engagement of individu-als within the society and creating an environment where citizens can par-ticipate in meaningful social activities

that enrich their lives and the lives of all with whom they interact.

“Within this new strategic frame-work, the prioritisation of public health and the re-introduction of an ‘everyone counts’ approach to policy must form part of the way in which we must now live and operate,” Dr Tufton said.

Dominica’s businesses praise PM for help

Dominica businesses have welcomed the govern-ment's plan to assist them amid the pandemic. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has outlined his plan to cau-tiously relaunch the econo-my, including considerable support for the private sec-tor.

The Dominica Associa-tion of Industry and Com-merce has welcomed the government's inclusion and consideration of the needs of Dominican businesses. The NGO classes the overall pandemic response as "inspirational" and salute the public's discipline in adhering to health proto-cols, which led to 16 fully recovered COVID-19 cases and no deaths being recorded. Skerrit said in his address to the nation that "the business sector is an essential partner in our quest for de-velopment and empowerment, and we

shall work with you to ensure that you remain viable and that you will be able to thrive again." He then set out a plan to relaunch the economy, with a special focus on healthcare, agriculture, con-struction, employment, and the private sector.

Some businesses in Dominica have al-ready been given permission to reopen by appointment.

St Kitts and Nevis elections soon

St Kitts and Nevis will go on the polls on June 5 to elect a new government af-ter Prime Minister Dr Timothy Harris made an of�icial announce-ment. Nomination day is Wednesday, May 27.

Harris announced online the election. The polls are predicted to be quite a challenge for Team Unity gov-ernment to retain the power as opposition St Kitts, and Nevis Labour Party has emerged as saviours in COVID-19 pandemic.

According to surveys conducted in St Kitts and Nevis 70 percent of the youth are in favour of SKNLP, whereas 30 per-cent of youth is sticking to Team Unity. This is signi�icant data as youth votes are considered the biggest undecided

votes sector. Mostly, undecided votes change the scenario of the election re-sult.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions on public gatherings, the election campaigns are going to rely heavily on social media and radio.

Bermuda’s new stamps celebrate bridges

Bermuda’s latest batch of commemora-tive stamps will high-light the island’s histor-ic bridges. The stamp series, the �irst of 2020, will feature Watford Bridge, Flatts Bridge, the Bridge at Norwood and the Causeway.

Wayne Furbert, the Minister for the Cabinet Of�ice, said: “Bermuda’s bridges are unique land-marks, which re�lect the history and culture of our island. Our infrastructure, especially our roads and bridges played a vital role in the social development and economic growth for all Bermudians.

“For our 21 square miles, we have more than 40 bridges, and the BPO is pleased to offer this stamp series featuring four very striking images of some of Bermuda’s iconic bridges.”

While the Perot Post Of�ice and the General Post Of�ice letter �loor remain closed, the stamps can be bought from sub-post of�ices around the island.

The original Watford Bridge, which connected Somerset Island to Wat-ford Island, was �irst commissioned in 1903. It was replaced in 1957, which in turn was replaced by the current bridge in 1983.

Golding accused of bias over Guyana resultsGuyana's political stalemate is drag-

ging on amid slow progress in a closely watched recount of votes from a disput-ed 2 March parliamentary election.

The electoral outcome is critical to the country's future oil policy, six months after ExxonMobil started deep-water production on the Stabroek block.

Only around a quarter of votes have been recounted so far, with a 25-day es-timate for the full process.

A result will be known "by the middle to late June, if all goes well with the re-count," an of�icial of the country's elec-tions commission announced.

The controversy deepened last week when the government attacked the head of the Organisation of American States election observer mission, for-

mer Jamaican prime minister Bruce Golding, as being "partisan with un-questionable links" to the main opposi-tion PPP party.

Golding told a meeting of the OAS permanent council on 13 May he had "never seen a more transparent effort to alter the results of an election."

Golding "appears to have now become an unabashed co-conspirator of the PPP seeking to defy the will of the Guyanese people," government spokesman Joseph Harmon claimed.

ExxonMobil was producing 77,500 barrels per day of crude oil in early May, 37.6 percent higher than the January output, according to the country's en-ergy department that forecasts 120,000 barrels per day by early June.
