Jamaicans are being urged to brace for increased showers, thunderstorms, cloudiness, and strong gusty winds beginning Saturday afternoon, which is when newly formed Tropical Depression Nine is expected to be in the vicinity of the island.

In its latest update on the system that prompted a severe weather alert for Jamaica on Wednesday, followed by a warning for fishers to evacuate cays and banks on Thursday, the Meteorological Service said all small crafts, including those fishers, should now be arriving in port to start preparations for safe harbour.

In its update released on Friday, September 23, 2022, at 5am, the Met Service said at 4am, the centre of Tropical Depression Nine was located near latitude 13.9 north, longitude 68.6 west.

“The depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 20 km/h. A turn more westward is forecast over the next next day or so, followed by a turn back to the west-northwest and northwest by this weekend,” the Met Service said.

Maximum sustained winds are near 55 km/h with higher gusts. Only slow intensification is forecast over the next day or so, followed by more significant intensification over the weekend, and early next week, it added.While the Meteorological Service continues to monitor the progress of Tropical Depression Nine, it is also monitoring two other systems.

The Met Service said the centre of Hurricane Fiona is passing northwest of Bermuda and Tropical Storm Gaston is expected to turn southeastward today, with tropical storm conditions affecting the westernmost Azores Islands.

According to the Met Service, Tropical Storm Gaston and Hurricane Fiona are no threat to Jamaica.

Augustine: 1 out of Duke’s 3 trips still unaccounted for

Chief Secretary Farley Augustine – THA

REPORTS have been submitted for two of the three official overseas travel by former THA Deputy Chief Secretary Watson Duke, says Chief Secretary Farley Augustine.

This was the response given as he responded to a question posed for oral answer by Minority Leader Kelvon Morris on Thursday at the 9th sitting of the 2021-2025 session, at the Shaw Park Cultural Complex.

Augustine told the sitting: “Reports were submitted for the Miami and New York trips.”

In a follow up question, Minority Councillor Petal Daniel-Benoit asked why no report was submitted for Duke’s Dubai trip.

“I cannot at this time say why a report for Dubai was not submitted and as for when that would be submitted, I think the councillor might do well to ask their new-found colleague and member on their side, as to when he would submit same,” Augustine said.

Duke last week said that having resigned as Deputy Chief Secretary, he would be moving to the other side of the assembly when next it sits, but not on the side of the PNM.

Daniel-Benoit asked that the reports on Duke’s trips be made public, to which Augustine said: “More than making them public, I can also have them forwarded to your office as well.”

In March, Duke led a Tobago team to participate in the Dubai Expo in the United Arab Emirates.

During a session in Dubai on a blueprint for smarter cities, Duke identified ten zones to modernise the village of Roxborough at the TT Business Forum and National Day event in Dubai.

In what he described as “the City of Roxborough,” Duke promoted investment possibilities for a light manufacturing and free-trade zone, civil centre, medical tourism, Kendal Agriculture institute, boardwalk, airport and aviation and marine institute, new overwater causeway, marina, medical complex, housing and a new marina bay island.

This was only one of the questions responded to prior to the laying of the statement on the forensic audit into the road resurfacing programme under the former PNM-led THA during the period October 2019 to November 2021.

A 39-year-old Carenage man is in serious condition after being shot by police on Thursday night.

Police said officers from the Carenage police station and the Western Division Task Force went to Francois Street, Carenage, at around 7 pm as part of a search for guns in the area.

They saw a man with a gun running down the stairs from a nearby house towards two policemen who were in a nearby track.

The policemen called on the man to stop but he continued towards them.

One of them shot the man. He was taken to the St James Medical Centre, where he had emergency surgery.

Police found and seized a Mac 11 machine gun with a red laser light. They also found a bag containing a black hoodie, a police hat and two police patches.

Photo courtesy TTPS –

They suspect the man may have been involved in gang warfare in Carenage. One policeman believed the tension may have been sparked by the recent return of a popular entertainer to Trinidad and Tobago. Earlier this week gunmen shot at the home of the relatives of the entertainer.

The exercise was led by Snr Supt Remy and co-ordinated by Insp Grant, with supervision from acting Cpls Robinson and Khan and assistance from PCs Clement, Hollingsworth, Seebaran, Dennis, Ottley, Bocage, Fidler and Laloo.

 Getting more Saint Lucian youth involved in the sport of golf is at the heart of a collaboration between the SLHTA’s Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) and the St. Lucia Golf Association (SLGA).

On September 21, 2022 the TEF donated EC $30,000 to the SLGA towards the hosting of the Eastern Caribbean Golf Amateur Championships 2022.

Approximately ninety players from ten countries will compete in the three-day sporting event, which is set to tee off on October 7, 2022 at the Sandals Golf and Country Club.

Fourteen Saint Lucian golfers, inclusive of two juniors from the Grow Well Golf Programme, are slated to participate.

Secretary of the SLGA, Mr. Habib Chreiki, is eager to hit the ground running.

“On behalf of SLGA, I would like to thank the Tourism Enhancement Fund for their kind support of the Eastern Caribbean Amateur Championships 2022— a tournament that will reignite golf tourism in Saint Lucia, and give exposure to our most talented competitors,” said Chreiki.

“We are thankful that like us, the SLHTA is intent on growing the sport on a junior level. To this end, we will be fielding a junior team from Grow Well alongside volunteers from The Sports Academy who will assist in tournament management. We look forward to working with the SLHTA in spreading the game we love to all corners of Saint Lucia!”

TEF Chairman, Mr. Winston Anderson, noted that youth development is one of the TEF’s main priorities.

“We believe that this collaboration with the SLGA will provide career opportunities for young people, not only as golfers but in a myriad of other areas including managerial positions, coaches, caddies and greenskeepers, to name a few. We look forward to young people from various communities islandwide benefiting from this sporting discipline in the coming months.”

Commenting on the collaboration TEF Programme Manager, Ms. Donette Ismael, stated: “The TEF’s Board of Trustees strongly believes that this project will provide a unique opportunity to nurture talents in a sporting discipline that has not been fully capitalized on. It will provide young, aspiring athletes an opportunity to benefit and gain meaningful exposure to the multifaceted dynamics of golf which will be undoubtedly transformative.”

Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister leads successful discussions in preparing AOSIS for COP27

UNITED NATIONS, New York, USA – 23rd September, 2022…….. Prime Minister the Hon. Gaston Browne continues to build meaningful consensus on several major issues facing Small Island Developing States (SIDS) ahead of the next UN Climate Change Conference (COP 27) to be held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt from November 6 to 18.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Browne convened a meeting of Heads of States and Governments of SIDS from the Caribbean, Pacific, the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and South China Sea to discuss issues that have commanded their unceasing attention as they continue to deal with the devastating consequences of climate change.

The Leadership Breakfast, held on the margins of the 77th United Nations General Assembly now taking place at the United Nations in New York also focused on advancing discussions at the UN on the creation of a Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI) for SIDS.

Joining the leaders for the opening segment was the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Adern, whom Prime Minister Gaston Browne praised as a ‘tireless supporter of SIDS.’ Also in attendance was Antigua and Barbuda’s Minister for Health and the Environment Sir Molwyn Joseph.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, in a recorded message, shared with the meeting, the urgency in making the financing for Loss and Damage an agenda matter at COP27. “We need a targeted, ambitious global response – including how to finance loss and damage, beyond our capacity to adapt. Polluters must pay,” the Secretary General declared.

“Grants and concessional financing currently fail to account for your islands’ unique vulnerabilities,” Guterres acknowledged, while throwing his full weight of support behind AOSIS members in their bid to “ensure eligibility and access to finance.”

Prime Minister Browne expressed his appreciation for the support he has received during his government’s tenure as Chair of AOSIS that has so far allowed for a number of triumphs.     “We have a few more months remaining and will advance additional initiatives that will crystalize our achievements,” he further added.

Prime Minister Browne who is also Co-Chairing the UN High Level Panel on the MVI, declared to SIDS leaders that the MVI can potentially be a game changer that can very well shift the fortunes of small island states.

The MVI seeks to take into account the particular vulnerabilities of SIDS in determining their qualifications for concessional financing to help their recovery efforts following a crisis.

Antigua and Barbuda stands to benefit from a successful MVI as the country is currently unable to access concessional financing and appropriate debt relief measures. A successful MVI would mean that the country would be able to access low-rate financing, grants and other financing methods that will advance Antigua and Barbuda’s development gains and sustainability plans.

During the Heads meeting, Prime Minister Browne urged small states to continue to be united  in their determination to ensure that the international community agrees to lasting solutions to the challenges facing SIDS.

On Friday, Prime Minister Browne will present Antigua and Barbuda’s statement to the General Assembly at 15:00 HRS (3 pm).  The statement will be broadcast live via https://media.un.org/en/webtv/ , Office of the Prime Minister Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/OPMAntiguaBarbuda   and ABS TV and their various media platforms.
