Two government authorities received approval for lump sum payments at the meeting of Cabinet on September 6, 2022.
The first approval was an award of a single performance- based payment to employees of the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange.
The second approval was the award of a 4.5% honorarium (single payment) to all employees of the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands on record as at 31 December 2021.
Sources close to another government agency told Loop News that their board of directors has also approved cost of living payments to staff and will apply to the Cabinet for approval of a one-time payment to their employees. It is expected that, as other agencies learn of the Cabinet’s approval of lump sum payments, they will also apply.
Why Cabinet must approve
The obvious question you may be asking is why these agencies are going to the Cabinet to get these approvals. After-all, they should have enough independence and autonomy with respect to their operations to approve these payments themselves.
Well, the answer is set out in the Public Authorities Act (PAA). This states that “A public authority shall not introduce a bonus or performance payment scheme for staff of the public authority unless the public authority is permitted to do so by the Cabinet.”
The PAA also says:
A public authority shall not award cost of living adjustments for staff of a public authority unless permitted to do so by the Cabinet.
As a result, the approval of the Cabinet must be sought in these cases.

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Sept. 16, 2022: U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters on Wednesday zoned in on the critical issue impacting the Caribbean region – beyond derisking.
In delivering an opening statement at the historic full committee hearing on the Impacts of De-Risking on the Caribbean, Waters (D-CA), Chairwoman of the House Committee on Financial Services, said: “For too long the lack of financial access faced by Caribbean nations and their majority Black populations has been blatantly ignored.”
Her comment came as the IDB, in a new report titled, ‘Finance for Firms: Options for Improving Access and Inclusion,’ found that the COVID-19 pandemic made it harder to access financing across the region, and smaller firms face more significant hurdles than larger ones when it comes to accessing finance. Additionally, women-owned and/or operated firms face even more severe challenges than other firms across the region.
“Between half and two-thirds of all women-owned and/or -operated firms across the six Caribbean countries reviewed report credit access (e.g., high collateral requirements) as a major or very severe obstacle to business operations,” the report added.
Derisking has of course added to that pain, with Waters noting that the harm on businesses and families across the Caribbean and the United States has been occurring for at least a decade.
“Financial access is key to a nation’s stability, but for our neighbor island nations, whose economies rely on cross-border transactions, they’re being denied this path to prosperity and resiliency,” the Congresswoman said. “We must acknowledge that our nation’s security and wellbeing is directly linked to that of the Caribbean nations and that dwindling financial access endangers these mutual benefits.”
DE-RISKING HEARING
In her presentation before the committee, Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, said regional countries are committed to addressing any deficiencies in their anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) policies. But said the US Treasury should “adhere more closely to the principle of risk sensitivity and not to participate in listings of countries where the lists pose a material risk to a country’s development and where there is no evidence that the country poses a material risk to the global financial system.”
“This will protect financial inclusion locally and internationally, guard the international network against underground alternatives, and toughen the fight against money laundering,” she said. “It will turn the big guns away from countries where little money laundering occurs to those where much does.”
Wendy Delmar, Chief Executive Officer of the Caribbean Association of Banks Inc., in her testimony called de-risking the “proverbial ‘thorn in the side’ for banks and other financial institutions in the Caribbean.”
“As a Caribbean national and career banker for over two decades, the onslaught of de-risking activity and its resultant adverse impact on the banking industry and economies of the region has been both disheartening and deeply concerning,” she added. “Given the fast paced rate at which compliance requirements are changed (often with little to no justification) banks and other financial institutions within the Caribbean are left to pursue a continually moving goal post. This ultimately results in burdensome and excessive expense to satisfy the new requirements which stifles business development and expansion.”
Wayne Shah, Senior Vice President, Wells Fargo & Company and Vice Chair, Financial and International Business Association, noted that Wells continues to do business in the Caribbean and as far as the Financial and International Business Association (FIBA)is concerned, “the era of de-risking of small Caribbean banks has long been over.”
But he said, “major challenges remain for financial inclusion for the Caribbean, including “… sustaining a view that the Caribbean is a region of safety and soundness for financial services and inclusion; encouraging independent country and counterparty risk analysi and calibrating regulatory mandates and addressing unintended consequences of legislation and regulations.”

The SAINT model army was among the Jamaicans dominating the just-ended New York Fashion Week (NYFW).
Sprint legends Usain Bolt and Elaine Thompson-Herah were also in the city that never sleeps, on the runway for Puma by June Ambrose.
The in-demand catwalkers from Saint, however, racked up a formidable slate of runway appearances for the most influential fashion houses that previewed their Spring/Summer 2023 ready-to-wear collections across multiple locations.
Led by resurgent Jamaican supermodel Kai Newman whose impeccable bookings included walking for Tom Ford, Tory Burch, Altuzarra, Marni as well as Vogue World, AmericanVogue’s 130-year-anniversary runway showcase, the SAINT squad comprised of Tomiwa, Wayne Booth, Winston Lawrence, Jamie Melbourne and Naki Depass.
Jetting in from Paris, SAINT’s Nigerian supermodel-in-the-making Tomiwa, making her second trip stateside for NYFW, clocked runway time for Ulla Johnson, Theory and Gabriela Hearst.
For Hearst’s show at Brooklyn Navy Yards, the African beauty wore Look #4 in a gold leather tuxedo pantsuit.
The New York Times fashion critic Vanessa Friedman raved Hearst’s new collection “was pretty terrific…big gold staples lined the edges of tailored pantsuits and long gold dusters topped simple tank dresses.”
In the case of Jamaican-raised, United States resident fashion designer Edvin Thompson, winner of the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s American Emerging Designer of the Year Award 2021, who presented his runway show this past Wednesday which featured Portland-born SAINT Lawrence, Voguehailed it as being “a tightly edited and focused collection loaded with budding signatures (for which), Thompson confirmed that for him, there is no such thing as a sophomore slump.”
Lawrence showed up too, on the catwalks for menswear designer Nicholas Raefski and Italian luxury brand Marni which crisscrossed the Atlantic to debut its upcoming collection under the Manhattan Bridge.
At Spring Studios in Tribeca, SAINT’s 60-year-old male stunner Jamie Melbourne defied ageist constructs with a runway appearance for the men’s and womenswear brand Deveaux’s 41-piece collection reveal.
SAINT top model Wayne Booth made it a triple with her catwalk turns for Christian Cowan, Marrisa Wilson and Aliette. Meanwhile, Brooklyn resident Naki Depass who is the face of Tibi’s current Fall/Winter 2022 global advertising campaign, showed up on the catwalk in two separate looks for the brand’s new collection.

Then, Bolt and Thompson-Herah decked out in Puma’s Futrograde threads – designed by Antigua-born American celebrity stylist and creative director June Ambrose – hit the runway in a collection of old classics reworked for Ambrose’s debut as Puma’s Creative Director. The ‘Forever Faster’ collection was revealed at Cipriani’s Great Hall in Manhattan.
For SAINT CEO Deiwght Peters, their collective brilliant start for this season’s Fashion Month will shift to London, then Milan and end in Paris.
He shared “New York’s always been great to SAINT, and I’m proud of Kai’s triumphant return to NYFW, and how exceptionally well all the models did, it was blessings upon blessings.”

Le secteur de Ponthaléry / Four-à-Chaux baigne ces jours-ci dans une atmosphère saturée en hydrogène sulfuré. Toute cette semaine, sur la carte publiée quotidiennement par Madininair, la zone est apparue en rouge, couleur marquant une concentration très élevée de gaz toxique. Sur place, les riverains oscillent entre colère, désespoir, inquiétude et sentiment d’abandon.
«Mais comment font les gens qui vivent là ? » C’est la question qui vient à l’esprit de tout automobiliste de passage en ce lieu. Dans ce coin autrefois idyllique, les sargasses en putréfaction ont bouleversé le quotidien des riverains. Il faut survivre avec cette odeur fétide qui imprègne tout, ces émanations qui gênent la respiration, « encombrent » les poumons et détruisent chaque jour un peu plus équipements domestiques, électroménager, matériaux… Appeler au secours,…

Sainte-Luce
Une pétition lancée pour demander l’interdiction des combats de coq dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais, mais aussi outre-mer, a rassemblé plus de 46 000 signatures. Pas de quoi faire perdre leurs plumes aux coqueleurs locaux qui, à l’image de Richard Saint-Louis, ne renonceraient pour rien au monde à la ferveur des pitts.
Chapeau de cow-boy sur la tête, monté sur son cheval, l’homme ne passe pas inaperçu. Cette silhouette reconnaissable entre mille est bien connue à Sainte-Luce. Il s’agit de Richard Saint-Louis alias Richard « Cœur de lion ». Amoureux de la nature – plus particulièrement de la graine de wawa- et des chevaux, ce Lucéen de 83 ans, « seule- ment ! » (comme il tient à le préciser), est également une figure emblématique du milieu des coqueleurs.
Mordu de porteurs d’éperons,…

En 1937, le lycée Schœlcher accueillait ses premiers élèves externes, en attendant les internes à la rentrée de 1938. Puis vinrent la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, le régime de Vichy et l’amiral Robert, l’occupation partielle du lycée par l’armée. A l’après-guerre, le lycée colonial devenait lycée national de garçons, continuait à se développer jusqu’aux années 70 pour ne recevoir que les élèves de seconde, première et terminale. De nombreuses étapes pour l’« institution », et de nombreux souvenirs pour bien des générations de Martiniquais.
«A la rentrée d’octobre 1939, la guerre venait d’être déclarée. J’avais 16 ans, Aimé Césaire en avait 26. Ses études terminées, il rentrait en Martinique pour enseigner au Lycée Schœlcher. Il a été notre tout jeune professeur principal de français, latin et grec, en 1ère AA’. Il était très souriant avec une énorme serviette dans laquelle il mettait tous ses documents. Nous avons tout de suite vu que nous avions devant nous un professeur brillant. Les cours suivants n’ont…
