KINGSTON, Jamaica–Opposition Spokesman on Youth and Human Rights, Isat Buchanan, says the evidence does not support the claim by the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Delroy Chuck, that Jamaica does not have a human rights problem. Chuck made the claim earlier this month during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives. During his contribution to the debate on Tuesday, Buchanan noted that Chuck went as far as to state that anyone who claims they need justice in Jamaica needs to have their head examined.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Opposition People’s National Party says Friday night’s island-wide power outage has once again highlighted that the treatment plants operated by the National Water Commission (NWC) remain “dangerously dependent” on the Jamaica Public Service grid, leaving thousands of citizens across the country without access to water. "Across this country, thousands of Jamaicans are without water because this Government has refused to make the shift to solar technology,” said the party's spokesman on water, Ian Hayles in a statement. “We witnessed the same devastation in Western Jamaica during Hurricane Melissa, and yet the Minister stood before this nation during the budget presentation and offered absolutely nothing new.

PPV operators will have to wait longer for 16% fare hike, says Vaz Despite sharply rising fuel prices as a result of the ongoing war in the Middle East, operators of public passenger vehicles (PPV) in Jamaica will have to wait a while longer before being granted an outstanding 16 per cent fare adjustment. Minister of Transport Daryl Vaz spoke to the issue on Tuesday during his contribution to the 2026/27 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives. PPV operators have been clamouring for a fare increase since fuel prices started climbing following the February 28 attack on Iran by the United States and Israel.

In a statement on Tuesday, the accountability watchdog noted that Wheatley had been under active investigation by the Integrity Commission for four years before being appointed to the Cabinet, raising questions about the standards and procedures used in selecting ministers. “This raises the question as to what standards or requirements exist that are factored into the determination of Cabinet appointments.

KINGSTON, Jamaica— Like the steady flow of a river that nourishes everything in its path before meeting the sea, another transformative environmental initiative has reached its final bend — leaving behind stronger ecosystems, empowered communities and renewed hope for Jamaica’s natural environment. In a statement on Friday, the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) highlighted the completion of the six-year “A Jamaican Path from Hills to Ocean” project which it says marks a major milestone in wetland and coastal management interventions, critical to safeguarding Jamaica’s natural assets and strengthening the island’s resilience to climate change. The project, which ran from 2020 to 2026, was funded jointly by the European Union Global Climate Change Alliance Plus (EUR 4.9 million) and the Government of Jamaica (EUR 1.1 million).

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesman on Environment and Climate Resilience Omar Newell has criticised recent comments by Environment Minister Matthew Samuda linking Jamaica's biggest mangrove threat to the illegal cutting of trees for firewood, arguing that the claims are inconsistent with findings in the Government's National Mangrove and Swamp Forest Management Plan 2023–2033. Newell's criticism follows a Jamaica Observer article on June 15 which quoted Samuda as saying, “The biggest issue affecting our mangroves is the illegal cutting of them to be used for firewood.” “If you don’t reduce poverty, mangroves become charcoal, and that’s where we have significant degradation of our mangrove forest — not from housing developments or commercial developments,” added Samuda at a Rotaract District 7020 Conference at Ocean Coral Spring Resort in Trelawny last Friday. READ: The real mangrove threat While acknowledging that illegal cutting of mangroves is unlawful and must be addressed, Newell said the Government's own data points to development activities as a significant driver of mangrove loss.
