McKeeva Bush, Speaker of Parliament
With the allegations surrounding the Speaker of Parliament, members of the public are asking who may sit in the Speaker’s chair if he is not available for reasons other than his vacation of office.
Well, the answer is found in Cayman’s constitution.
First, in the absence of the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker will be the presiding officer in Parliament.
Second, in the absence of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker, such one of the elected members (not being a Minister) may be elected by the elected members to be the presiding officer.
The presiding officer may then commence the business of Parliament as per normal, provided that a quorum of a majority of the elected members of the Parliament are present, in addition to the person presiding.
This is also the position under the Parliament Standing Orders (2022 Consolidation).
