Flatly contradicting remarks by Premier McKeeva Bush, Alice Mae Coe, head of West Bay’s Concerned Citizens Group, says she was never appointed to the area’s District Advisory Council. Likewise, West Bay resident and former Radio Cayman Director of Broadcasting Loxley Ebanks, also named by Mr Bush, says he has only heard rumours of his own appointment, but seen no notification. “It’s rubbish,” Ms Coe told iNews Cayman. ”This is news to me that I’ve been appointed. He [Mr Bush] just uses that, but none of it is true.” Mr Ebanks, asked about the premier’s Tuesday remarks, said “I have heard something about it, heard rumours, but I have never seen any confirmation and never been notified”. Mr Bush named the two during a public meeting at George Town’s Town Hall, discussing formation of the new 10-member Advisory District Councils. Continued on page 5
