Freedom of Information…. they should have hired the "Leak" in the Immigration department, who released the Paedophiles picture last week.
He already has good experience of freedom of information
Congrats Miss Jennifer
Hey Folks…Do not be tempted to jump on the bandwagon becasue of ONE unresearched and dumb comment. Ms. Dilbert is a fine Caymanian with a great depth of experience and she WILL be welcomed home and is certainly right for the job!
Please do not post any further comments on ex-pat .vs. locals, that is just lowering ourselves to ignorant bloggers. I’ll stay with the smart group. From an ex-pat (here 14 yrs) married to Caymanian (7) with CI Status. I live in both worlds, so believe we CAN all live and love together.
Congratulations to Mrs Jennifer Dilbert, MBE, JP a bonafide Caymanian, to the fifth generation, family to , the Jacksons, the Woods , and the Carters of Bodden Town and the Yates, Powells and Dilberts of West Bay. We proud of ya girl…welcome home!
Wow, unqualified Caymanians getting a job just because they want to come home! This is what makes us look bad!! How is she qualified for this job?
It has often been said "if you have nothing good to say, then say NOTHING at all". I’ve had the priveledge of working with Ms. Dilbert over a number of years, and it can be said without any doubt that this fine, outstanding, born Caymanian lady has represented her country overseas (UK) and will continue to do a remarkable job here at home.
Congratulations Ms. Dilbert. We are confident that once again you will make the people of Cayman PROUD!!!
umm, Ms. Dilbert is a Caymanian… check your facts before posting something that assumes all Caymanians do is bash ex-pats
Congratulations Jennifer and welcome HOME.
He it comes, the usual ex-pat bashing……
What is this comment supposed to mean!!! she’s a Caymanian – where in this article is there any ex pat bashing or intent to bash expats????
