On Thursday, 75 children from the City West’s annual summer camp made a surprise visit to Prime Minister Gaston Browne at his office on Queen Elizabeth Highway.
The enthusiastic young campers had the opportunity to interact with Prime Minister Browne and pretended to be him for the morning.
Prime Minister Browne spent his Thursday morning showing the children his office and allowing everyone to sit in his chair and pretend to pick up calls and sign their names.
Questioning the young campers about their experience at the camp so far, many students reported that they enjoyed music lessons and sports time the most.
Before bidding the children farewell as they made their way to Stingray city for the day, PM Browne reminded them that they can become Prime Minister someday, once they remain focused, authentic, and hardworking.

Press Release by Kelton Dalso
The Youth Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda hosted a Town Hall Meeting on Thursday 18th August 2022 at Potters Village. I participated as the DNA candidate for St. George.
The Hon. Dean Jonas upon rising to address the crowd in his opening remarks, made certain references to me and my tertiary degree, a Bachelor of Laws LLB, and insinuated that the Government of Antigua and Barbuda and specifically the Gaston Brown led Administration facilitated, contributed or funded my Tertiary Education or that they deserved credit for my accomplishment. He did this repeatedly. Many persons got the impression that I made a request to the government for assistance and my studies were funded by the state.
Let me now set the record straight.
I have never approached this or any Administration, in any official or unofficial capacity to make any request for financial or other type of support to pursue or complete my LLB or any other study.
I was never made an offer by any government of any funding or other support for my education. Neither have I approached or solicited such assistance from any business or other person outside my household.
My family and I made every sacrifice in support of my ambition to complete my LLB. I did it alone!
While I am proud of my academic accomplishments, I take this opportunity to completely disassociate myself from the disparaging and asinine statements made by the Hon. Dean Jonas which were aimed at Algernon Watts because he is not a holder of a tertiary degree.
I found the insinuations of the Hon. Dean Jonas to be careless, callous and a cheap attack on Mr. Watts and they indicate to all St. Georgians who are not holders of a tertiary degree, the low esteem in which they are held by the Representative.
I wonder how many scholarships or other state assistance, the Hon Dean Jonas has facilitated for our young people during his tenure?
I wish to apologize to the wonderful constituents of St. George for such a crude display of leadership!
I hope that the Hon. Dean Jonas, on reflection would see it fit to offer an appropriate apology to myself, the organizers, and the constituents of St. George for his disingenuous and poor behaviour he exhibited.

En Líbano, una mujer embarazada de cinco meses, Hana Mohammed Khodor, murió este miércoles en un hospital varios días después de que su marido la agrediera brutalmente y le prendiera fuego, informa Arab News.
El hombre, identificado solo con las iniciales A. A., supuestamente golpeó a su esposa y luego le prendió el fuego porque ella se negaba a abortar. La pareja proviene de un entorno pobre de Trípoli, la segunda ciudad más grande del país, y no podía permitirse criar a un niño, según Abdul Rahman Haddad, un amigo de la familia.

Según explicó un médico del hospital que atendió a la víctima, Khodor fue ingresada el 6 de agosto “sufriendo quemaduras corporales del 100 %”. El nonato murió en el útero y los médicos tuvieron que operar a la mujer para extraer el feto, pero las posibilidades de sobrevivir de esta eran “muy escasas”.
Hana Khodor, de 21 años, estuvo once días en cuidados intensivos, donde los médicos trataron infructuosamente de salvarle la vida. Antes de su muerte, su familia hizo varios llamamientos de ayuda económica para poder pagar el tratamiento hospitalario, que incluyó múltiples operaciones y transfusiones diarias de sangre, cada una de las cuales costaba 100 dólares.
El marido fue detenido por las Fuerzas de Seguridad Interna de Líbano cuando planeaba huir del país, según señaló Abdul Haddad al medio.

Premier Dr. Natalio “Sowande” Wheatley represented the territory this week at the first Regional Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean in Nassau, Bahamas.
The inaugural event was held Tuesday and Wednesday with the goal of devising a regional position on climate change mitigation in preparation for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, according to government.
The UN conference, known as COP27, will be held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from Nov. 6-20, bringing together representatives of more than 200 countries to discuss commitments to the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below two degrees Celsius and preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
At the pre-meeting in the Bahamas, Dr. Wheatley joined other government heads from Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Dr. Wheatley is also scheduled to attend the Agri-Investment Forum and Expo II in Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow through Sunday.
The initiative is a platform established to stimulate conversations among key stakeholders and to revolutionise the agricultural sector in Trinidad and Tobago and across Caribbean Community member states, according to government.
During Dr. Wheatley’s absence, Kye Rymer has been appointed to act as premier and finance minister from Monday through Sunday. Dr. Wheatley is scheduled to return on Monday.

The Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) has increased its policy interest rate by 50 basis points to six per cent.
The measures are expected to cause interest rates on deposits and loans to rise further. Some deposit-taking institutions (DTIs) have already adjusted interest rates on deposits and loans.
In announcing the rate increase on Thursday, the central bank said inflation expectations remain elevated and, without stronger policy actions, may continue to rise.
Having peaked earlier and lower than expected in April 2022, inflation at May and June were both 10.9 per cent, followed by 10.2 per cent at July.
In determining the rate increase, Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) noted that the conditions that led to the recent inflation outturns appear to have not sufficiently solidified to ensure that inflation is sustainably on a downward path, and there remains a risk of reversal.
It also projected that inflation is projected to fall within the target range by the December 2023 quarter. This is two quarters later than previously projected.
Meanwhile, annual inflation is projected to range between nine per cent and 11 per cent for the remaining months of 2022. Inflation is projected to fall to single digits in early 2023, as long as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine do not escalate and inflation among Jamaica’s trading partners continues to fall, the bank said.
In addition, the BOJ’s baseline forecast assumes that the public’s expectation for future inflation will fall during the second half of 2022
What’s more, the low unemployment rate, reported labour shortages in selected sectors of the economy and pressures from the acceleration in domestic inflation carry the potential for future wage adjustments to exceed that required for the consolidation of low, stable and predictable inflation.
Finally, high inflation in the US and other trading partners has prompted a programme of faster monetary adjustment among the central banks of the advanced economies, which could cause capital outflows from Jamaica and a faster pace of exchange rate depreciation if domestic monetary policy is not properly aligned.
The MPC also agreed to continue pursuing other measures to contain Jamaican dollar liquidity expansion and to maintain relative stability in the foreign exchange market.
The BOJ said, from October 2021 to date, the Bank, while maintaining a flexible exchange rate, has taken strong actions in the foreign exchange market including an adjustment to the Net Open Position limits for deposit-taking institutions (DTIs) and the sale of foreign exchange to the market, when necessary, while continuing to ensure that the gross reserves remained comfortably above the level considered adequate.
“These policy actions contributed to the maintenance of stability in the foreign exchange market and, without them, imported inflation and hence the final prices faced by consumers would have been higher,” the BOJ said.
In the meantime, the MPC will continue to closely monitor the global and domestic economic environment and is prepared to pause its monetary policy tightening if the incoming data continues to reflect a downwards track for inflation.
As at August 16, 2022, Jamaica’s gross reserves amounted to US$4.3 billion, which represented approximately 124 per cent of the projected IMF’s Assessing Reserve Adequacy (ARA) measure for FY2022/23.
