Cayman Compass
New MPs get straight to work in Parliament
A day after being sworn into office, Cayman’s new MPs on Wednesday got down to business by selecting members for parliamentary committees and delivering their post-election speeches of thanks.
At that meeting, it was determined that opposition MPs will make up the majority of members of the Public Accounts Committee, the body that holds government accountable for how it spends its money.
Of the six members of the committee, four will come from the opposition benches — independent Chris Saunders and three PPM representatives, Roy McTaggart, Kenneth Bryan and Roy Tatum, with McTaggart as chairman. The other two members will be government MPs Julie Hunter and Wayne Panton.
