AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

National Assembly & Justice: The National Assembly sat July 30 with a packed legislative agenda, including first readings for the Banking (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, Payment Systems and Services Bill, and Liquor Licence (Amendment) Bill, plus a second reading for the Extradition (Amendment) Bill—aimed at modernising extradition and closing legal gaps while protecting constitutional rights. Governance & Accountability: Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew used the sitting to stress good governance and transparency, pointing to Integrity in Public Life measures that require public officials to declare financial affairs. Water Security: Minister Konris Maynard announced the discovery of a new water source in Saddlers, with further quality and sustainability testing to follow. Economic Outlook: Cabinet Secretary Dr. Marcus Natta said an IMF mid-year assessment found the federation’s fiscal position remains solid despite lower CBI revenue, while flagging risks to monitor. Nevis Energy Costs: Nevis Premier Mark Brantley urged electricity conservation as the domestic fuel surcharge returned, citing global oil price volatility and Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Local Development: A structural assessment is underway for the Sandy Point Community Centre after cracks raised concerns about integrity. Political Party Watch: Outgoing PAM leader Natasha Grey-Brooks confirmed she is stepping down as political leader amid restructuring ahead of an expected general election campaign. International & Regional: The EU has asked five Eastern Caribbean CBI states, including St. Kitts and Nevis, to phase out programs by June 1, 2028, warning of possible Schengen visa consequences. Public Services Digitisation: Social Development digitisation efforts were highlighted, including online registration for school-based assistance and e-cash tools to improve access.
