AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Tourism & Investment: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett welcomed Sandals’ partnership with Royal Caribbean, saying it could widen Jamaica’s international reach and bring benefits for workers, local suppliers and farmers. Public Finance & Governance: In the Senate, debate on the Environmental Levy Act 2026 was briefly derailed after the wrong version was tabled without proper money-bill certification, before the correct bill was reintroduced. Legal & Rights: The Advocates Association of Jamaica says lawyers will withdraw from courtrooms starting Sept. 28 to press for changes to the 2022 Firearms Act, insisting it’s not a fight against the State; Justice Minister Delroy Chuck says mandatory minimums won’t be amended now. Sports & National Mood: Reggae Boyz edged Guatemala 3-2 in a Nations League opener, with Renaldo Cephas scoring late; meanwhile, T&T’s Nations League match vs Haiti ended in a late collapse. Social Policy: Government moves to train unpaid caregivers as Jamaica’s population ages. Health & Compliance: JADCO says Omar McLeod’s whereabouts case is ongoing. Economy & Cost of Living: Drought-linked food price hikes continue to squeeze shoppers at Kingston markets. Transport: JUTC launched the Port Antonio–Kingston Route 710 service, drawing strong early interest.
