AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Coopers Pen Demolitions: Jamaica’s government says it’s stepping up relief for about 40 displaced families after houses were flattened in Trelawny, with ODPEM and the Ministry of Labour providing tents, cots, water, toiletries and other essentials—while residents and church leaders call the action inhumane and demand relocation. Child Diversion Debate: Opposition youth and human rights spokesperson Isat Buchanan pushed for children found with firearms or ammunition to be eligible for child diversion, but committee chairman Delroy Chuck rejected automatic referral, warning it could let criminals use children as gun carriers. Back-to-School Support: Excelerate Energy and the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce handed out supplies and cash grants to 300+ students after Hurricane Melissa disruptions. Education & Pay Talks: Jamaica Teachers’ Association says wage negotiations are nearing a formal offer, with teachers anxious for documentation before the new school year. Human Trafficking Update: National Security and Peace highlights ongoing anti-trafficking investigations and arrests, pointing to Jamaica’s Tier 2 status in the latest US report. Reggae & Culture: Marcia Griffiths and producer Sean Lewis Folkes reunite on “When You Love Me,” while Erick the Architect drops the official “No Doubt (I’m In Love)” video—filmed in Jamaica—as a love letter to everyday Kingston. Sports & Community: Black River High aims for the ISSA daCosta Cup second round after retaining most of its squad for a rebuilding season.
