Jul 2, Government committed to term limits
Kurt Tibbetts, Leader of Government Business, stated last week that the Government of the Cayman Islands remains committed to term limits for foreign workers. Speaking in the Legislative Assembly he said ‘The Government, after the most careful consideration, has concluded that the choice for Cayman is stark: either we retain a system designed to reduce the number of people who are able to stay here indefinitely and become part of the permanent population with all the attendant rights and privileges that must go hand in hand with long term tenure, or we concede that in ten years or less, the control of the destiny of these beloved Islands will be vested in persons who were not born here. For this Government and we believe for the vast majority of Caymanians, the latter result is wholly undesirable and unacceptable.’
Government data indicates that since the introduction of the policy the ‘brain drain’ predicted by many has not materialised. In fact the number of qualified professionals such as accountants and lawyers has increased significantly.
