Leaders and speakers now forever ‘honourable’

| 08/08/2012

_DEW2501_0_0.jpg(CNS): As the budget crisis in Cayman raged on, the premier and a number of other local dignitaries secured their honorary status in perpetuity. Following last month's announcement that former speakers and leaders of the country will hold their "Honourable" moniker forever, which received considerable derision from the wider community, the premier hosted an official ceremony recently where past and present political leaders and speakers of the Legislative Assembly were presented with their certificates affirming their honorific title for life and beyond the grave.

Premier McKeeva Bush handed over the documents proclaiming the endless honour to former Speaker and National Hero Sybil McLaughlin, former Speakers Edna Moyle and Linford Pierson, as well as the present Speaker Mary Lawrence, and former Leader of Government Business Truman Bodden.

Meanwhile, the premier received his eternal award from Cabinet Secretary Orrett Connor, who served as Master of Ceremonies for the occasion.

Although Deputy Premier Juliana O’Connor-Connolly, a former speaker of the House, and former leader of government business Kurt Tibbetts are also entitled to the perpetual distinction, they were unable to attend. The late Captain Mabry Kirkconnell, a former speaker, and Thomas Jefferson, a former LOGB, also received their posthumous honour, which was marked by a moment of silence

Connor said the eternal honour is one of a number of initiatives introduced by McKeeva Bush to recognise those who have given notable service. Others include the new local gongs, the Order of the Cayman Islands awards that are given out during the National Heroes Day, which were described as “significant steps in the Premier’s nation-building efforts.”

Connor also praised the premier for expanding government’s summer internship programme, which enables young Caymanians to gain work experience and learn about how government functions.

Expressing his appreciation for the dedication to country shown by the recipients of his new lifetime and beyond honour, Bush said it was an acknowledgment of hard work and diligent attention to the onerous tasks of high office.

“I am elated that today we are continuing on this path of bolstering our collective self-worth,” he said, adding that he hoped that various strategies of nation building would impact the younger generations positively, inspiring them to emulate the honourees’ achievements.

He said the nation building initiative, which has run into a considerable degree of controversy because of the money given away under the scheme without proper scrutiny, was about identifying national symbols and recognising outstanding people as national heroes.
He also pointed to the re-naming national institutions after stalwart Caymanians who have contributed to the country’s success.

Despite the premier’s claims there were more than 140 comments made by CNS bloggers last month when the announcement was mostly deriding the decision.

    Unfortunately in our brief history very few of our leaders have earned or been able to live up to the title of honourable. Does this mean Captain Morgan and Blackbeard will also be remembered and revered as once honourable. I think NOT!

    Four and a half centuries ago Montaigne, (who influenced Shakespeare greatly) liked to remind Kings and Queens that however elevated their thrones might be, yet they all sat on their backsides, like the rest of us. He also recommended that  Kings employ a servant to  whisper in their ear from time to time, reminding them of their common humanity and  ordinariness. Now there's a job for a Caymanian,  Whisperer to 'The Eternally Honourable McDinejad.'

  6. Dave Holmes "Benjy" says:

    I either can't or don't want to comment on all the "Honourables" but one that I know for sure deserves it – Miss Sybil. Her whole life has been a shining example of what a true Caymanian is. Her knowledge, intellect, faith and deep love for all things good have all been directed towards the betterment of Cayman and it's people.

    God bless her and may Caymanians respect her and those like her for ever.

    Benjy

    • Chris Johnson says:

      Benjy I completely agree with you as regards Miss Sybil. She has been a shining light in the community and worthy recipient of National Hero status. The population needs study the history of Cayman to understand the hardships that were encountered by Caymanians until the seventies when tourism and the financial sector took off thereby generating the by product of construction. This alleviated Caymanians from going to sea for their livelihood. Cayman came a long way in a short period of time until paid politicians came to the fore.

      There are many Caymanians, too many to mention who dedicated their life to the wellbeing of the islands who sort no reward and certainly no title. Mr bush and his entourage need get back to basics and steer the ship away from the rocks.

      Their attempt to introduce tax to Cayman was an abject failure and clearly the people were against it. Mr bush, take note of what the people want. As an aside they would like to voice their opinions at your biased meetings but you refuse to hear their defining roar. You shouldtake note what became of Julius Caesar before venturing further forward. I will lend you the book if you are not familiar with it’s content.

    Here's what I say. First this is not the time or place to be dealing with these sorts of things BUT if I had to do this I would say this.

    I believe that it should be done much the way the UK knights people. The LA should vote on it and it should have to pass with at least 13 out of 15 members voting for it. You could do it twice annually or once annually.

    With the high margin to achieve this it would be it is a UNANIMOUS DECISION. This way the current government could not abuse it and just give it to all their people.

    Thsi is how it should be done. There is no way I can Big Mac Honourable. Not in this lifetime or the next.

One can only laugh at Bush and his "Honorees", as a child growing up I often heard the expression "small Island people" it was a term used to ridicule those who were small minded and suffered from self delusion. I can now look forward to the day when Hon. Bush will dressed in the uniform of Major General of the Cayman Islands or that of Lord of the Admiralty, for Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. I suggest he adds to the order OIC (Only in Cayman)

    And if the WBayers think it's okay, then it must be because it gives MB extra spondoolies to spread around for those 'gifts' and parties he's so famous for. So at the end of the day, WE are ALL paying for it.

    Personally, I don't think this new honour goes far enough. I think that, in order properly to demonstrate our respect and reverence for our esteemed Premier, and to convey our gratitude at our good fortune to be ruled by one so wise and sagacious, we should adopt a new form of protocol. I humbly and respectfully offer the following suggestions.

     

    When approaching the Premier, one must kowtow (kneel and place your head to the floor) before him three times.

     

    No person may sit in the Premier's presence.

     

    It will henceforth be a crime to refer to the Premier by his given name. He should be referred to by his full title "The Sublime and Honourable Premier, the Son of Heaven, the Lord of Ten Thousand Years, the Divine Highness"

     

    It shall not be necessary, save at formal state functions, to refer to the Premier's other titles, such as Lord High Admiral of the Caymanian Fleet, Field Marshal of the Caymanian Defence Force, Duke of Grand Cayman, and Hereditary Giver of the Fridge.

     

    The Premier's arrival at any function shall be marked by the firing of a 31-gun salute, and the playing of the national anthem

     

    A pair of comely maidens shall walk before the Premier at all times and strew the ground with rose petals for him to walk on. (Entrants for each year's Miss Teen Cayman could fulfil this role)

     

    I think taken together these measures would go a long way to bolstering the Honourable and Esteemed Premier's sense of self-worth from its present woeful state.

May I suggest to DART that as part of his For Cayman Alliance- he show true affection for Cayman and begin by naming some of his projects/developments after these worthy people who will not gain no financial reward but will gain the notiriety they so truly deserve. that is my definition of TRUE NATION BUILDING

    How about bestowing this honour on the TRUE political leaders of years ago. Politicians who got nothing for serving their country. Persons who worked through mosquitos, no electricity, no a/c. These are the people that need to be honoured. Our elected leaders of years ago who truly SERVED the country and not themselves. They were paid a pittance but did the work with honour, dignity, humility, honesty, morals and ethics. And should the powers that be now are left scratching their head wondering to whom I am referring, let me just name but a few politicians that should be so honoured: Jim Bodden, Haig Bodden, Willie Farrington, Ormond Panton, Benson Ebanks, Vassel Johnson, Claude Hill, Ira Walton, Eldon Kirkconnell, Warren Connolly, Craddock Ebanks, Keith Tibbetts and the list goes on. I accept that the list could include a few more, but I know that I have gotten my point across. I put it forward that NO and I repeat NO politician in the last 20 years- should get this "holy" award over persons such as those listed above. For far too long now, we have forgotten the TRUE nation builders and it is time to change this NOW!!!!!!!!

The Caymanian people are not as stupid as you look Mr. Bush and I certainly will not be referring to you as honourable anything. I can barely get the words "Premier" out when referring to you.

    My mama always told me that you can't buy respect, you can't steal it and you certainly can't con people into giving it to you, you have to EARN it! Mr. Bush has not earned my respect.
