Cayman Governor Issues Second Statement Amidst Minister Resignations: “Cabinet Can Continue To Function”

Press Release From Her Excellency The Governor

Following the resignations of various ministers this week and uncertainty arising, Her Excellency The Governor Jane Owen issued a second statement today, November 1, 2024. The statement is set out below.

I appreciate that this has been an uncertain time for many people. I am closely following developments after the resignations of four members of the UPM Government yesterday.  

Cayman has a strong constitution which has stood the test of time and robust democratic principles upon which the constitution is based. We will have constant reference to these as discussions continue.

Under the constitution, the Cabinet can continue to function providing it has a quorum of five ministers, including the Premier. 

The civil service will also continue to provide public services and policy implementation during this period.

I will provide further updates in due course and I encourage you all to remain tuned in to official channels.
