AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

CCJ Integrity Under Fire: Heads of the region’s judiciaries say they’re “gravely concerned” after leaked internal CCJ correspondence, pledging confidence in the court while refusing to weigh allegations publicly. Constitutional Reform Pressure: Jamaica’s Senate President Tom Tavares-Finson warns it would be “extremely reckless” to lock in the CCJ as final appellate court amid turmoil, calling for a public enquiry. Public Safety Focus: Police Commissioner Dr. Kevin Blake says Jamaica’s murder tally is down 20% vs August 2025, but urges stronger proactive action against domestic and interpersonal violence. Security & Crime: The JCF reports a major cocaine haul at Kingston Freeport Terminal—over two tonnes seized over three days—with eight people in custody. Tourism Trade & Recovery: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett launches JAPEX 2026, moving it to Ocho Rios after Hurricane Melissa, and says most hotel stock should be back online by JAPEX. Water & Housing Stress: St. James residents face demolition fallout in Coopers Pen, while drought-driven water restrictions continue to shape daily life. Local Business Push: JBDC and Kingston Creative expand support for 60 creative entrepreneurs, and MSMEs welcome the Government’s 20% procurement set-aside. Scam Warning: Jamaicans are urged to be cautious with online job offers as traffickers increasingly use social media to lure victims. International Solidarity: PNP expresses condolences to Colombia after a deadly earthquake. Sports & Culture: CPL returns to Sabina Park with Kingsmen vs Tridents, while Jamaica Rising Day celebrations continue in Brooklyn.
