Opposition tackles SPS & Immigration Reform
In this episode of Forefront, Opposition Leader Hon. Joey Hew, Deputy Opposition Leader Hon. Kenneth Bryan and Independent MP Chris Saunders scrutinise the National Coalition For Caymanians administration’s Strategic Policy Statement (SPS) for 2026–2028.
They discuss the implications of CI$321 million in projected borrowing, the sustainability of Cayman’s revenue model, and whether the SPS delivers meaningful outcomes for Caymanians.
The conversation also turns to the newly released Immigration (Transition) Amendment and Validation Bill, 2025, a comprehensive reform that introduces term limits for non-Caymanian civil servants, new residency rules, and stricter oversight of marriages of convenience.
