Ombudsman sues governor over ‘unlawful’ disciplinary attempt
Cayman Islands Ombudsman Sharon Roulstone is taking legal action against Governor Jane Owen over a disciplinary investigation that she claims is unlawful and unfair.
Roulstone, the first Caymanian to hold the post, argues that Owen does not have legal authority to instigate proceedings against her. She also highlighted a history of repeated complaints against her which have been unfounded or abandoned.
The Office of the Ombudsman is Cayman’s public sector complaints investigation body and has a statutory independence designed to protect it from political interference.
