The Cayman Constitution states that “Subject to this Constitution, a law enacted by the Legislature shall provide for the establishment, functions, and jurisdiction of Councils for each electoral district to operate as advisory bodies to the elected members of the Legislative Assembly.”
It is understood that the Legislature may have passed a law at some stage, however, some amendments are to be made before district councils are formally established.
In the meantime, MP Ebanks-Wilks is being proactive and worked with residents to establish the Interim WBC Council to address and resolve their concerns.
