MANCHESTER, Jamaica — The Mandeville Regional Hospital (MRH) has become the first hospital in Jamaica to perform a scar-free minimally invasive vaginal surgery, known as Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES), marking another milestone in the country's healthcare sector.

KINGSTON, Jamaica—When he made his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives on June 9, Minister with responsibility for Land and Settlements Robert Montague could not resist the temptation to talk about his unlikely victory in the 2025 General Election after opinion polls had shown him to be the most vulnerable of Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) candidates. He addressed the matter on June 9 during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives. “In June last year when friends were few, the workers of Western St Mary rallied, the people stood by me, so that, when a 19 per cent deficit was broadcast and bandied about, some wished that I was done!

KINGSTON, Jamaica — State Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, Senator Abka Fitz-Henley, has criticised the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) for what he described as a “malicious tendency” to discredit “competent and patriotic Jamaicans” who serve in crucial posts. His remarks came in response to a statement issued by the PNP questioning whether Ambassador Antony Anderson formally applied for the role of chief executive officer (CEO) of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) before being appointed by Prime Minister Andrew Holness on Wednesday. The Opposition, referring to Anderson as a “loyal military and policing technocrat”, raised concerns about the recruitment and selection process for the post.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesperson on Youth and Human Rights Isat Buchanan has reaffirmed the Opposition's support for Jamaica becoming a republic while insisting that true constitutional reform must include full judicial independence and meaningful national consensus. Buchanan, making his contribution to the 2026/27 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, argued that Jamaica should not pursue what he described as a "half-finished decolonisation" by removing the British monarch as head of state while retaining the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council as the nation's final court. “The Opposition supports Jamaica becoming a republic.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The People's National Party Youth Organisation (PNPYO) is calling on Young Jamaica and the Jamaica Labour Party's Communications Taskforce to issue an immediate and public apology for the dissemination of what they say is a reckless, baseless, and malicious statement concerning Opposition Leader Mark Golding's 2024 statutory declaration. In a statement on Monday, the PNPYO referenced a June 4 statement from Young Jamaica, which called on Golding to give an account for his 2024 statutory declaration. The PNPYO, however, noted that the certification by the Integrity Commission of Opposition Leader Mark Golding's 2024 statutory declaration was published in the Jamaica Gazette on May 26, 2026, more than a week before Young Jamaica's press release was issued.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesperson on Water and Special Projects, Ian Hayles, on Thursday warned that Jamaica's water sector remains plagued by inadequate planning, uneven investment and financial instability, leaving too many Jamaicans without reliable access to potable water. Making his contribution to the 2026 Sectoral Debate under the theme "Securing Jamaica's Water Future: Accountability, Infrastructure, Results", Hayles argued that despite repeated announcements and ambitious targets, significant gaps remain in both water access and service delivery. "Water is life, yet in 2026 nearly one-quarter of Jamaican households remain unconnected to a potable water supply," Hayles said.

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.

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.
