GENERAL ELECTION 2004

Elections Office warning to those doing business with Government

Wednesday, August 25, 2004

The Election office has announced an advisory to all prospective candidates contesting seats in the 2004 General Elections of the provisions contained in Section 19 of the Cayman Islands Constitution, relating to disqualifications for elected membership and in particular to Section (1) (G).

This section says that no one can be elected as a member of the Assembly who is a party to, a partner in a firm, a director or manager of a company which is under contract with or doing any kind of work for the Government of the Islands unless they publish very clearly exactly what they are doing and for which government office at least one month before the day of the poll.

In other words anybody making a profit from the government needs to make sure that everybody knows everything about it if they want to run for office.

The final date for publication of this notice is Friday, 15 October 2004.
