AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Public Service & Justice: The High Court delivered a sweeping rebuke in the Petrona Thomas transfer case, ruling the move unlawful and void, citing “vindictiveness and heavy-handedness” and ordering costs—another reminder that constitutional process matters in public administration. National Development Tour: Prime Minister Terrance Drew’s media tour put several capital projects on display, including the $50m Prime Creative Arts Centre (CBI-funded) and the Symbol of Love at Fort Thomas, framed as major tourism and cultural anchors. Food Security Push: Officials say the Greenhouse Village Initiative is nearing completion, with 24 greenhouse structures aimed at boosting local “crash crop” production and cutting the food import bill. Water Security: Ministers announced new water prospects in Saddlers after hydrogeological work, while also continuing the push for a more reliable 24/7 supply. Medicinal Cannabis Regulation: St. Kitts and Nevis secured a Seed-to-Sale Track and Trace system for medicinal cannabis, designed to monitor the supply chain and curb diversion. Governance & Lawmaking: The National Assembly advanced the Extradition (Amendment) Bill, 2026, with the AG saying it closes legal gaps and modernises cooperation. Economy Watch: An IMF mid-year assessment told Cabinet that finances remain solid despite lower CBI revenue, while flagging risks to monitor. Social Services Digitisation: The Social Development Ministry rolled out online registration for school-based assistance, using digital tools to speed access. International & Community: St. Kitts marked 56 years since the MV Christena disaster with renewed calls to remember lessons on safety and accountability.
