Controversy
In the Fall of 2018, Caines visited London for Government related purposes and was involved in an incident of notoriety at a Cereal Killer Cafe chain. At the establishment when ordering his cereal, Caines asked the female worker if they had "any titty milk?".[4] Despite issuing an apology for his unprofessional behaviour and clear sexual harassment, nothing was done by the Progressive Labour Party to punish Caines over the matter. He continued to hold his position as Minister of National Security.
