Grand Cayman, 5 November 2024 – André Ebanks MP confirmed he had spoken to Joey Hew MP, Leader of the Opposition yesterday, November 4, and they concurred that the way forward is for the Minority UPM Government to proceed for the sake of stability. 

He said, “The Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Joey Hew and I spoke, and we also concur on the matter of attending Parliament later this year to consider important financial services legislation, which will include amendments to increase financial services licence fees that will allow the Government to collect higher revenue in 2025.”

“MPs Heather Bodden, Katherine Ebanks-Wilks, Sabrina Turner and I all share the view that the next general election should be as early as practicable in 2025, so that the people of the Cayman Islands can choose to elect a new group of principled leaders committed to good governance, professionalism, innovation and a shared vision to take our three Islands forward to a brighter future for this and future generations of Caymanians,” he concluded. 

“I urge all residents to use today to make their final preparations and take all necessary precautions in light of Hurricane Rafael. May God bless you, and continue to bless these Cayman Islands,” Ebanks concluded.
