AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

UN & CARICOM Diplomacy: Foreign and CARICOM Affairs Minister Sean Sobers says Trinidad and Tobago’s UN Security Council win shows the strength of Caricom ties, despite recent disputes over the reappointment of UN Secretary-General Dr Carla Barnett. Education & Infrastructure: Citizenship Unit chairman Calvin St. Juste provides an update on construction of the climate-resilient Basseterre High School campus, with foundation works and steel preparations underway. Energy Transition: Public Utilities Minister Konris Maynard’s ministry launches a roadmap process toward 100% renewable electricity generation, backed by the EU via Euroclima Caribbean and implemented with UNDP and Greening the Islands. Water & Drought Response: Maynard tells the public drought conditions are worsening, with bushfires rising and the next rainy season forecast below normal, while outlining steps toward 24/7 water access. Cost of Living & Consumer Protection: Government confirms it has not authorised any increase in the price of basic “dollar bread,” warning bakeries to keep current prices unless approved. Governance & Public Services: A political backlash grows over a utility disconnection programme, with PAM and PLP condemning disconnections affecting communities already facing unreliable 24/7 water. Tourism Policy: Tourism Minister Marsha Henderson urges carrying capacity assessments to avoid oversaturation and protect destination value as cruise and investment decisions intensify. Regional Health & Tech: PAHO praises St. Kitts and Nevis’ locally developed NDHIS digital health system, while NATMA’s medical mission brings free care to residents. Public Safety: Authorities confirm a cruise passenger missing after a solo hike on Mount Liamuiga has been found dead; investigations continue. National Recognition: Prime Minister’s Office opens nominations for the 2026 National Honours Awards, with submissions due July 31.
