PoliticalUpdate🇯🇲JM8d ago

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness was circumspect on Monday when he responded to a question about the state of the investigation by the Financial Investigations Division (FID) into his unverified statutory declarations. The matter was referred to the FID by the Integrity Commission (IC) which failed to reach a conclusion after probing the financial affairs of the prime minister during a lengthy investigation that was made public nearly two years ago. In September 2024, the IC recommended that both the FID and Tax Administration Jamaica examine aspects of the financial affairs of the prime minister.

When the New York Knicks captured the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Championship at Madison Square Garden on June 13, ending a 53-year title drought, one of the unsung heroes in the team’s historic victory was Jamaican-born orthopaedic surgeon Dr Answorth Allen. The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 90 - 94 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals to take the coveted title. For two decades, Davis has been keeping the Knicks players in good physical health, repairing torn ligaments, managing complex fractures, and ensuring that they can take the court night after night.

The Opposition People's National Party says the recent reacquisition of a controlling ownership interest in Paymaster by Cabinet Minister Audrey Marks raises legitimate questions regarding the management of potential conflicts of interest and the safeguards required to maintain public confidence in government decision-making. Marks holds responsibility for efficiency, innovation and digital transformation, a portfolio that directly shapes policy affecting Jamaica’s digital services, payments systems, and wider fintech ecosystem, the PNP said in a media release, adding that Paymaster operates within that same space, providing payment and digital transaction services across the economy. In addition, according to the PNP, Paymaster’s operations intersect with a broader digital and telecommunications environment in which regulated service providers interact with government policy and regulatory frameworks.

For Jevaughn Gordon, being named among Ignite Caribbean’s 30 Under 30 Changemakers is more than an award, it is a reflection of resilience, purpose and the belief that young people from underserved communities can create meaningful change across the region. The young Jamaican communications professional, journalist and youth advocate, who hails from Princess Field in Linstead, said the recognition carries deep personal significance because of the circumstances that shaped his journey. “I come from Princess Field in Linstead, a community where the standard of living is low and where many young people grow up surrounded by gang violence, drugs and limited opportunities,” Gordon shared.

For the first time in her 30-year political career, Pauline Hanson fronted the National Press Club this week. It was a blistering address, and a combative question-and-answer round with journalists – with Hanson attacking multiculturalism, the climate crisis, transgender rights, Indigenous policy, paid parental leave and the two public broadcasters. Longtime journalist Margo Kingston knows Hanson better than most – having covered the One Nation leader since her first rise to prominence in 1996, and also written a book about her 1998 election campaign.
