AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Health System Accountability: Opposition health spokesperson Dr. Alfred Dawes is demanding decisive fixes after operating theatres at Kingston Public Hospital and Bustamante Hospital for Children reportedly remain offline, disrupting elective surgeries and delaying care. Cost of Living: Statin says Jamaica’s inflation rose to 5.4% in May, driven mainly by higher food prices and more expensive meals outside the home, with electricity also contributing. Local Government & Courts: A Supreme Court interim injunction restrains Rae Town councillor Rosalie Hamilton from further alleged false and defamatory statements against Kingston Central MP Donovan Williams, with a July 13 hearing set. Legal/Finance: The Court of Appeal granted Fitz Jackson leave to appeal in the Scotia Bank cheque fee case, keeping the dispute “very live.” Education & Families: The first Parent Place opened at Calabar Primary and Infant School, offering parenting support services in Kingston and St. Andrew. Public Safety & Information: Police warn Jamaicans to stop sharing a viral “missing child” photo for Adonai Thomas, saying the claim is false and the child is safe. Environment: Water Minister Matthew Samuda says Jamaica’s endangered Jamaican iguana population could reach 3,000–4,000 within a decade. Sports (Community): McKay Security backs Jamaica Football Championship playoff teams with $1m incentives, spotlighting local football development.
