He is currently the longest serving member of the Legislative Assembly of the Cayman Islands and is referred to as the "Father of the House" and "Big Mac".

In 2010 Bush was accused of using a government issued credit card at casinos in the Bahamas and Florida (where gambling is legally permitted, unlike the Cayman Islands) and incurred over $33,000 in cash transactions.

In late 2010 the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) opened an investigation into Bush relating to alleged financial irregularities dating from October 2004.

[6] The former Governor of the Cayman Islands, Duncan Taylor, declined to appoint a commission of enquiry while the police investigation was ongoing.

The first charge was related to Bush's alleged misuse of a government credit card in Las Vegas for which he was investigated in 2010, while the latter three concerned the importation in February 2012 or earlier of explosives without valid permits.

He denied any wrongdoing and refused to step down from his post, describing the charges against him as part of a "political witch hunt" led by Governor Duncan and members of the opposition.

Mr. Bush has since been found Not-Guilty of corruption by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands in 2014 and was acquitted of all charges made against him.

[18] Reports stated that Bush fell over due to intoxication, and when the female bar manager tried to help him up, he physically attacked her.

Witnesses commented on social media reports of the incident, stating that they saw Bush physically hit the woman multiple times in the face.

Bush released an apology the following day, blaming the incident on grief from a family death that happened 9 years prior.

As for the reasons for the public's lack of acceptance of Bush's most recent apology, it appears to be a combination of repeat offenses and too many witness testimonies of these specific events to be rebutted.

In 2023, he returned the honour stating "I found myself conflicted about retaining an award that doesn't promote Caymanian Excellence but rather one that many people believe celebrated imperialism and perpetuated a system of class and privilege.
