A preliminary file regarding allegations of inappropriate behaviour by now former House Speaker McKeeva Bush is with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The RCIPS, in a brief statement to the Cayman Compass on Thursday following queries after Bush moved up his resignation date, said the preliminary file in the case has been submitted.
“The completed file will be forwarded for legal ruling in early course,” it added in the statement.
This latest development follows the surprise move by the West Bay West MP to resign with immediate effect, as opposed to a previously stated date of 30 November.
Bush did not share what prompted his change of heart, instead he told the Compass, “Too many lies being told – and far too much speculation is being made”.
“I have my constituents – in particular my 2 grandchildren in college and my wife and son and [I am] most concerned with their health. God will be the judge on all of this,” Bush told the Compass via WhatsApp message Tuesday morning.
Bush, who tendered his resignation last week in the face of mounting pressure, added “sincere apologies is extended to the wider country for all the created confusion”.
His accelerated departure from the Speaker’s chair also followed his ‘swan song’ statement in Parliament in Monday during which he leaned on the lyric from Jamaican singer-songwriter Prince Buster, saying he is “still hard man fi dead”, signalling his resolve to rise again.
Police originally began investigations, following what they termed “social media reports circulating of an incident/incidents of assault,” which happened at a government-sponsored event on 13 Sept.
