AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Crime & Governance: PM Andrew Holness linked delays in the Vineyard Town NHT housing handover to gang violence and warned Jamaicans “we cannot be ambivalent about criminality,” as murders trend down and the country is ranked most peaceful in the Caribbean. Parliament Watch: Opposition MP Marisa Dalrymple-Philibert attacked Nekiesha Burchell as “unruly” after another heated House standoff over the Integrity Commission report. Third-Country Nationals: Constitutional lawyer Dr Lloyd Barnett pressed the Government to answer key questions on the US TCN deal, including where transit cases are going and whether returns could expose people to harm. Housing Policy: New NHT rules take effect July 1, boosting housing solutions for contributors aged 35 and under to at least 20% and allowing eligible young contributors to use up to $2m of their entitlement for deposits. Transport & Cost of Living: A full 16% taxi fare hike and public passenger fare increase take effect, while JUTC changes Sunday operations on the Mandeville–Kingston route. Sports & National Infrastructure: World Athletics has certified the National Stadium track, and Jamaica’s para-sport delegation looks ahead to the Para South American Games in Valledupar. Regional & Rights Agenda: CARICOM will convene to address issues affecting Rastafarians across the region amid ongoing discrimination concerns. Business & Regulation: JSE suspends Kintyre Holdings and Atlantic Hardware & Plumbing for overdue audited financials; BGLC moves toward a Central Monitoring System to tighten gaming-machine oversight. Justice & Security Cases: Indecom testimony continues in a police murder trial, and a Clarendon woman faces money-laundering charges tied to alleged criminal-property holdings.
