Mr. Chair, as the Premier, I have a distinct set of responsibilities and duties separate and apart from my role as Minister for Financial Services and Commerce. As Premier, I am responsible for leading the Government of the Cayman Islands and ensuring that we deliver on our commitments to the people of this country.
One of my key responsibilities as Premier is to oversee the work of the Cabinet Office, which plays a critical role in supporting the work of the Government. The Cabinet Office is responsible for coordinating the work of government ministries and agencies, providing policy advice to the Premier and Cabinet, and managing key government initiatives.
In order to effectively carry out these responsibilities, it is essential that the Cabinet Office has adequate resources and funding. This includes funding for staff, technology, and other resources that are necessary to support the work of the Government.
As Premier, I am committed to ensuring that the Cabinet Office has the resources it needs to effectively support the work of the Government. This includes advocating for adequate funding in the budget process and working with my colleagues in Cabinet to ensure that we prioritize funding for key government initiatives.
In conclusion, Mr. Chair, as Premier, I have a distinct set of responsibilities and duties separate from my role as Minister for Financial Services and Commerce. One of my key responsibilities is to ensure that the Cabinet Office has adequate resources and funding to effectively support the work of the Government. I am committed to fulfilling this responsibility and working with my colleagues in Cabinet to deliver on our commitments to the people of the Cayman Islands.
