Leader of Opposition says it is becoming a “kangaroo Parliament”

42 minutes ago
On the morning of Friday, October 7, 2022, the Leader of the Opposition issued a statement that the members of the Opposition will not attend Parliament this morning while the Speaker, McKeeva Bush, sits in the chair.
The full statement is below.
Over the past week the entire country has witnessed first-hand what can be considered a government that has become increasingly desperate and heavy handed and willing to ignore proper procedure and rules.
We are concerned that the Speaker has resigned and is expecting to continue in the chair and is being enabled to do so by the Government. Regardless of any purportedly effective date the fact is that Mr Bush has resigned as Speaker and must demit the chair immediately and the Deputy Speaker sit as the presiding officer as required under section 4(1)(b) of the Standing Orders.
I would also add that not only have they banded together to prevent a motion of lack of confidence in the Speaker from being debated but they have done so on a false premise. This refusal of a valid motion is inexcusable and a violation of all democratic principles of Parliament.
I regret to say that under this Government we are rapidly becoming a ‘kangaroo parliament’. We take our oaths seriously when we swore to serve the people of the Cayman Islands in the House of Parliament. We would be abdicating our duty to the country to participate in the sham that today’s meeting of Parliament has become.

Manchester City was fined 260,000 pounds (US$289,000) on Friday for fans invading the pitch after winning the Premier League title in May.
The English Football Association said Man City admitted a disciplinary charge over the scenes that followed a 3-2 win against Aston Villa.
City’s late comeback after trailing by two goals ensured securing the league title with one point more than Liverpool.
“The club admitted that it failed to ensure its spectators . . . conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from using threatening and violent behavioUr while encroaching onto the pitch after the final whistle,” the FA said.

Mayor declares state of emergency for NYC over migrants Loop Jamaica
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s mayor declared a state of emergency on Friday over the thousands of migrants being sent from southern border states since the spring, saying the demand being put on the city to provide housing and other assistance is “not sustainable.”
“A city recovering from an ongoing global pandemic is being overwhelmed by a humanitarian crisis made by human hands,” Mayor Eric Adams said. “We are at the edge of the precipice. … We need help. And we need it now.”
By the end of its fiscal year, Adams said the city expected to spend $1 billion helping the new arrivals, many of whom are heavily reliant on government aid because federal law prohibits them from working in the US.
Adams, a Democrat, said the new arrivals are welcome in the city. And he spoke with pride of New York City’s history as a landing spot for new immigrants.
“New Yorkers have always looked out for our immigrant brothers and sisters. We see ourselves in them. We see our ancestors in them,” he said.
But, he said, “though our compassion is limitless, our resources are not.”
New York City’s already strained shelter system has been under even greater pressure for much of this year because of the unexpected increase of those needing help.
Between five and six buses of migrants are arriving per day, Adams said, with nine on Thursday alone. Many of those buses have been chartered and paid for by Republican officials in Texas and Arizona who have sought to put pressure on the Biden administration to change border policies by sending migrants to Democratic-leaning cities and states in the north.
One out of five beds in New York City’s homeless shelter system is now occupied by a migrant, and the sudden influx has swelled its population to record levels. The city has opened 42 new, temporary shelters, mostly in hotels, but Adams said more would need to be done.
On Friday, he said that included city agencies coordinating to build more humanitarian centres; fast-tracking New Yorkers from shelters to permanent housing, which would clear space for new arrivals to the city; and putting together a process for New Yorkers who have extra room to house those in need.
He called for state and federal financial aid, federal legislation that would allow asylum seekers to legally work sooner, and federal plans to fairly distribute asylum seekers throughout the country “to ensure everyone is doing their part.”
He said New York would continue to do what it could.
“Generations from now, there will be many Americans who will trace their stories back to this moment in time,” he said. “Grandchildren, who will recall the day their grandparents arrived here in New York City and found compassion, not cruelty, a place to lay their head. A warm meal. A chance at a better future.”

Dominican Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry and Sir Hugh Rawlins to receive honorary doctorate from UWI

Two Distinguished Caribbean Citizens to receive UWI Honorary Degrees at The UWI Open Campus Virtual Graduation Ceremony
The University of the West Indies (The UWI) Open Campus at its upcoming Virtual Graduation Ceremony will confer Honorary Degrees of Doctor of Laws (LLD) on two distinguished Caribbean citizens – Dr Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry (LLB, LLM, PhD) for her contribution to International Law and The Honourable Sir Hugh Rawlins for his contribution to Law and the Judiciary.
Dr Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry, Dominican-born, UWI alumna and Barrister at Law, has made her mark as a woman expert in international law, trade and Maritime labour standards. Her career began at The UWI, Cave Hill as a Law lecturer. She then worked with the Iran-US Claims Tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, followed by a 29-year-long career at the International Labour Office (ILO).
Dr Doumbia-Henry considers her time at the ILO some of her best years as she witnessed the on-the-ground effect of international standards. From the 1990s, she led the ILO’s participation in many International Maritime Organization (IMO)/ILO interagency collaborations including joint working groups on ‘Fair Treatment of Seafarers’ and ‘Liability and Compensations regarding Claims for Death, Personal Injury and Abandonment of Seafarers’.
During this time, she also led legislative reform of the body of 72 maritime labour instruments adopted by the ILO since 1920. In 2006, 68 of these would be consolidated into a single convention—The ILO Maritime Labour Convention (MLC), which is considered one of the most innovative and effective maritime labour instruments.
The MLC seeks to establish a level playing field for ship owners and effective protection and rights at work for seafarers, which today remains applicable to the global Maritime industry.
In 2005, Dr Doumbia-Henry became the first woman appointed Director of the International Labour Standards Department—one of the ILO’s largest portfolios.
Appointed by the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2015, she left the ILO and became the seventh President of the World Maritime University (WMU), a university established within the framework of the IMO. She is the first woman President and the first President from a developing country.
As the Chief Executive Officer of WMU, she oversees and directs the operations and administration of the University, positioning it as the global centre of excellence in maritime and ocean education, research and capacity building, taking on board the UNSDGs. Dr Doumbia-Henry is also a Panel Member for the Rapid Response Labour Mechanism of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
In 2021, Dr Doumbia-Henry was selected for the Lloyd’s List – 100 most influential people in shipping. She was also recognised as a remarkable woman in the field of transport for the year 2021 by the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative.
The UWI alumnus, The Honourable Sir Hugh Rawlins has long served the regional community as an educator, a senior civil servant, and a member of the Judiciary.
Sir Hugh, a national of St Kitts and Nevis, began his long and notable legal career in 1985 when he was admitted to practise Law having received his Legal Education Certificate (LEC) from the Norman Manley Law School, Jamaica. He also holds a BA (Hons. 1974), an LLB (Hons. 1983) and an LLM (1991) from The UWI. In his legal career, Sir Hugh served as Crown Counsel, Registrar, Additional Magistrate and Solicitor-General of St. Kitts and Nevis before returning to the The UWI Cave Hill Campus as a Lecturer in the Faculty of Law from 1995-2000.
Sir Hugh joined the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in 2000 serving as a Master assisting with implementing New Civil Practice Rules.
In 2002, he was appointed High Court Judge and served in this capacity in Saint Lucia, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat and the British Virgin Islands before he was appointed to the Office of Justice of the Court of Appeal in September 2005.
He has served as Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court from 2008 until his retirement in 2012. He is the only person to date who has substantively assumed duties in the four levels of the Court. His judgments have been quoted with approval by the Privy Council; the Supreme Court of Kenya and by Commonwealth Caribbean Courts.
Sir Hugh has published several legal articles in Regional and International Law Journals in the areas of Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Civil Practice, Public Law Remedies and International Commercial Contracts.
Today he is a Judge of the ILO International Administrative Tribunal in Geneva, Switzerland having been appointed in 2012 upon his retirement from the Office of Chief Justice.
In 2012, Sir Hugh was conferred the Award of the Order of the Knight Bachelor. He was also awarded the Pelican Award on the nomination of the St. Kitts and Nevis Alumni Chapter of The UWI Alumni Association.
Each year, The UWI recognizes individuals for making significant contributions to the Region and the wider world in their respective fields of expertise. The UWI Open Campus salutes these two legal luminaries and wish them continued success in their endeavours.
Families and friends of these honorary graduands can tune in to the virtual graduation ceremony via www.uwitv.org, UWItv’s channels on Flow EVO or on Facebook live on Saturday, October 15, 2022 from 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Caribbean/AST) 2:00 p.m. (Belize/CST).

The 24th Council for National Security and Law Enforcement (CONSLE) Meeting opened on Thursday in Jamaica, highlighting the relevance of regional integration amid increased security challenges.
Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Assistant Secretary-General (ASG), Human and Social Development Alison Drayton, addressed the subject at the opening.
“The challenges that threaten our security have put in sharp focus the need for increased emphasis on the relevance of regional integration and functional cooperation to the Community in its approach to security,” she told her audience.
And Drayton spoke of the need for increased cooperation and information sharing among the Member States.

The senior CARICOM official observed that the CONSLE meeting in Jamaica was the first face-to-face gathering since the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this regard, she noted that the last two-and-a-half years worsened the pre-existing crime and security issues and created new issues that CARICOM needs to address as a unified body.
“The Regional Response Mechanisms had to be strengthened through inter-sectoral cooperation within regional security to protect our citizens and we worked well with other sectors,” Drayton recalled.
She said the intensification and diversification of risks and threats to CARICOM are occurring against fundamental shifts to the broader global environment.
As a result, Drayton explained that the meeting was an opportunity to strengthen cooperation and shared responsibility to safeguard and preserve the peace, security, and socio-economic development of the region’s nations and citizens.
“The Secretariat remains committed to supporting your efforts through our technical team and at the forefront of our agenda is keeping our citizens safe,” she declared.
