WORK PERMIT HOLDERS PROTEST NEW FISHING BAN IN CAYMAN ISLANDS
A recent announcement by
Minister for Health, Environment & Sustainability Katherine Wilks has sparked outrage among the expatriate community, as the Cayman Islands government has imposed a new ban preventing work permit holders from fishing for food in local waters.

The ban represents a major policy shift from the 2010 legislation, which allowed work permit holders to fish with a license costing $400. This new amendment fully prohibits non-Caymanians on work permits from fishing, even for subsistence purposes.

Many expatriate workers view this decision as unjust, discriminatory, and spiritually offensive. Critics argue that the law goes against the Cayman Islands’ deep heritage, which is rooted in maritime life and sustenance from the sea. We are founded upon the seas and established upon the flood.
Ms. Lovell Marriott told Cayman breaking News that the ban does not apply to work permit holders who live along the beach or who own boats. These individuals, she explained, have continued access to the sea. However, many community members have responded with frustration, arguing that this creates an unfair loophole that benefits only a small group of people with privileged access.
“The ocean does not belong to the Cayman Government,” Said, Ms. Marriott. “God placed the fish in the sea for all of mankind to eat—not just for sport or for a privileged few. This is a matter of survival for many, not recreation.” you can never deplete the sea, the marine life is increase by the second, that's God's divine provision.
“The Bible teaches us that Jesus fed 5,000 people with five fish and two loaves of bread. That wasn’t recreation—it was provision." “How can the pastor association and churches remain silent when the government prevents a hungry man from feeding himself?”

Expatriate workers, many of whom take to the sea after long hours of work to relax, unwind and catch a simple meal from been enslaved sometimes without salary for weeks. We are now calling for a peaceful protest and for this law to be repealed. They stress that fishing is not a luxury, but a basic human need that falls under the human rights law. Especially given the rising cost of living and food in the islands.
“ Honerable Wilks this policy is a step too far outside of your lane,” said Ms. Marriott “We respect law and order, but not at the expense of a man dignity, heritage, or access to food.”
Count the cost Madam.. when you implement polices to take a man peace of mind, food from his table and they turn to robbery to feed themselves remember you started it first..

The group is urging the Cayman Government to reconsider the amendment and consult with both legal and religious leaders, as well as the wider community, to create fair and compassionate policies for all residents of the Cayman Islands.

Does the Government Scholarship Encourage Division in the Home?
CAYMAN BREAKING NEWS
By: Lovell Marriott
Journalist

The Cayman Islands government demonstrates a growing passion for educating young Caymanians and status holders by offering both local and international scholarships to accredited colleges and universities throughout their years of study.

One requirement for receiving an overseas university scholarship is seven GCSE/CXC/IGCSE passes, including English Language and Mathematics, with no less than a ‘B’ grade in all subjects.

The government also offers excellent training programs through Workforce Opportunities & Residency Cayman (WORC). As a result, there is little excuse for a young Caymanian or status holder not to maximize their full potential and become prepared for high-paying jobs that contribute to the development of the Cayman community.

Ms. Lovell Marriott told Cayman Breaking News that despite parents being exceptionally grateful for the government's scholarship program, many are facing serious challenges once their children turn 18. The Cayman Islands Government has a separate policy which states that parents no longer have the right to access information regarding their child's academic performance after they reach legal adulthood.

This policy has become a dangerous pitfall for many families who value maintaining a strong bond with their children during this critical period. Many parents believe in guiding and supporting their children throughout their university journey—not only financially, but emotionally and spiritually as well.

A child does not suddenly become an adult at 18. Yes, society may say so, but at 18, a young person is only beginning to find their footing in the world. The brain is still undergoing significant development—especially the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for higher-level functions like planning, decision-making, and impulse control. While they may be capable of more complex thinking than younger teens, true maturity is still developing well into the mid-twenties.

A child cannot obtain a scholarship without the consent and involvement of their parent. Therefore, it is only right that parents remain informed and involved in their child’s well-being—especially when they are studying overseas. The government should not deprive parents of the right to support and oversee the academic journey of the very children they helped raise and prepare to advance in their studies.

International universities often offer internship programs as part of their studies. Caymanian students are also typically granted the right to obtain a work permit in many of the countries where they study, which allows them to gain valuable job experience before returning home. Ms. Marriott emphasized that the Department of Education should ensure that each university student takes part in these available programs, as they add meaningful value to their education and significantly increase their marketability when seeking employment upon their return to the Cayman Islands.

DID YOU KNOW??

Did you know that you have the legal right to file a lawsuit against the Commissioner of Police?

If the police fail to do their job—such as refusing to keep the peace, displaying negligence, putting your life in danger, or violating your human rights—you have every right to take legal action. This is especially true if the Commissioner of Police is fully aware of the situation and does nothing to protect you or maintain public safety.

Police officers are called “law enforcement” for a reason. If they refuse to enforce the law, it becomes your responsibility to hold them accountable—by suing both the Commissioner of Police and, if necessary, the Attorney General.

Now is the time to take action and defend yourself in a court of law. Doing so not only protects your rights but also encourages the Cayman Islands government to employ trained Police Officers and challenges them to enforce a better hiring practices within the police force.

No judge has the legal authority to override your lawsuit against the Commissioner of Police if you can provide evidence of police negligence.

You also have the human right to represent yourself in court as a litigant in person—and to be treated with dignity and respect throughout the process. Judges have no right to disregard your case simply because you are self-represented.

A judge cannot strike out a case before the court if you have valid evidence of misconduct or negligent actions by a police officer. If a judge chooses to do so without giving you a fair hearing, it is called a violation of your human rights and considered an unfair trial under the human rights law.
Legal advice in the Cayman Islands is extremely expensive, so take advantage of the free resources available online. You can access Cayman Islands laws and judicial information at www.judicial.ky.

A Prophetic Call to Wake up CAYMAN ..
CAYMAN BREAKING NEWS
By: Lovell Marriott

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18(kjv)
Its time to face the fact about a long-ignored reality: George Town is out of space, yet Cayman Islands continues to grow without addressing its most pressing needs. One such need is not just physical but symbolic — a proper, dignified location for the swearing-in of their elected Government leaders.

Every four years, like clockwork, the urgency of this need resurfaces — only to be forgotten again after the applause fades. Once more, you gather under tents on the street, rain hovering overhead, and you call it tradition. be honest: it is neglect — and one day, the skies may not be so merciful.

The Lord has spared you rain on these sacred occasions. But must you wait for the clouds to open before your eyes do?

At each swearing-in, the new Government is placed at the front while the Opposition sits directly behind them. This is not only logistically awkward — it is symbolically wrong. The Opposition is named so for a reason. They should sit on the opposite side of the aisle, as is done in many respected parliamentary systems. Do not overlook the spouses of our elected leaders — they should be seated with dignity beside their partners, not shuffled off to the sidelines as afterthoughts feeling irrelevant.

You once had a building — a space that could have been renovated, repurposed, and reclaimed for the Caymanian people. But it was sold to foreign investors years ago. And today, you celebrate your national leadership ceremonies in the streets, under tents.
This is not acceptable.
Not even third-world countries conduct official state celebrations this way.

This is not just a logistical issue — it’s a spiritual and cultural call to responsibility. This is a prophetic word. The world is shifting. Danger is increasing. And you are treating your safety, your dignity, and your future as if you have all the time in the world. Cayman is standing still, with its head buried in the sand — but the tide is rising. Gun violence is real, members of the public disappearing without a trace.

It is 2025. You cannot afford to remain asleep.

I say this clearly and without apology: It is time to open the shooting range to the public. Not just for members — for everyday Man and women who want to learn how to defend themselves and their families. Self-protection is not just a right — it’s wisdom in today’s world.

Do not wait for crisis to reveal what wisdom would have prevented.

Cayman, it’s time to rise. Build with vision. Lead with dignity. And protect what God has blessed you with before you lose it.

NO- RACIST WAR PROTEST ERUPTS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA.
CAYMAN BREAKING NEWS
By Lovell Marriott, Journalist

Demonstrators took to the streets in cities across North America — including New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Toronto — on Sunday to protest U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to launch major strikes against Iran’s nuclear program.

President Trump announced that the U.S. had carried out a “successful” bombing operation targeting three nuclear facilities in Iran, stating that the sites had been “obliterated.”

Israel confirmed that it was in “full coordination” with the United States in planning the strikes. Iranian officials acknowledged that the facilities were hit, but denied that the country had suffered significant damage.

The strikes represent a major escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.

PPM OVERSPEND IN THE 2025 GENERAL ELECTION.
Did the People's Progressive Movement government (PPM) tamper with the 2025 General Election by flooding the streets of the Cayman Islands with money during their campaign on April 30, 2025 General election? Reports to Cayman breaking News suggest a massive overspend—nearly one million dollars—that violated the Election Act, with a total expenditure of CI$699,751.02. This breach of the law will resulted in a fine of $25,000.00.

There are growing concerns that the figure presented by PPM may not be accurate. Party member and forrner Premier Honerable Julian O'Connor Connolly released a separate report indicating a different amount, raising serious questions about the transparency and integrity of the party's financial disclosures.
This blatant disregard for campaign finance laws undermines the democratic process and raises larger questions about the financial stewardship of those seeking public office. If a political party cannot adhere to spending limits during an election campaign that last for only 2 months, how can it be trusted to manage the nation’s budget responsibly?
The legal spending limit for the election campaign was CI$480,000. PPM’s nearly double expenditure highlights a troubling disregard for financial rules—and perhaps explains why the Cayman Islands government is left drowning in debt.
