AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Electricity & Water Crisis: Jamaica is still dealing with fallout from Friday’s islandwide blackout, with JPS reporting restoration work for over 10,000 customers and NWC saying about 65,000 customers remained without water as systems are backfilled and tanks recharged. Accountability & Oversight: Opposition and officials are demanding answers from JPS after lightning-triggered grid failures, while the OUR has sought a report and scrutiny continues. Water Security Debate: PNP water spokesperson Ian Hayles says the outage proves NWC must shift to solar and renewables to avoid a single-point failure. Labour & Jobs Policy: Government says it’s “future-proofing” work through a National Employment Policy partnership with the ILO, targeting tech change and climate disruptions. Youth & Community: St Andrew West Central Chess Fun Day 2026 showcased young talent, while Women’s Centre of Jamaica Foundation received $4.5M to support adolescent mothers. Agriculture & Youth: Opposition MP Dayton Campbell is upset over the cancellation of National 4-H Achievement Day 2026. Justice & Policing: Zuleika Jess calls for urgent reform after Indecom figures show 133 fatal police shootings since the start of the year. Diaspora & Crime: Superintendent Errol Adams urges Jamaicans abroad to help reduce violent crime at home. Diaspora Services: Integrated Diaspora Services expands its global network, appointing Jamaican-American Peter Gracey. Sports: West Indies’ ODI vs Sri Lanka was washed out by rain, and Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos is unhappy ahead of Mexico.
