PPM Media Statement: Passing of Former MP Austin Harris

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Austin Harris, former Member of Parliament for Prospect and a dedicated servant of the Cayman Islands. Austin served as part of a PPM-led coalition government, where he was known for his commitment to research, accountability, and representing the people of Prospect with care and conviction. Beyond Parliament, Austin was also a talented radio presenter, respected for his thoughtful commentary and willingness to engage the public on issues that mattered. His voice, both on the airwaves and in public life, reflected a genuine dedication to service. As Hon. Joseph Hew shared: “In Austin, the people had a champion whose rigorous research was matched only by his unwavering dedication. His legacy of service and loyalty to his people will continue to inspire everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.” We thank Austin for his service to Prospect and to our country, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who mourn his loss
