AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Power Crisis in the Family Islands: Residents of Grand Cay say they were left without power, water and phone service for nearly a week after BPL generator issues and a replacement unit faulted on connection, forcing reliance on portable generators. New Providence Outages: BPL also reported further load shedding and circuit overloads, with multiple communities facing planned outages as summer demand strains the grid. Airport Flashpoint: The Bahamas Taxi Cab Union warns industrial action could follow an escalating dispute at Lynden Pindling International Airport with livery drivers over access arrangements and a two-week trial that taxi leaders say didn’t play out as agreed. Judiciary Under Strain: The Bahamas Bar Association condemned repeated power outages that shut down Supreme Court operations, disrupted bail and jury selection, and delayed proceedings. CCJ Integrity Row: Caribbean heads of judiciary backed the CCJ while raising grave concern over leaked internal emails alleging “dictatorial” leadership and alleged panel manipulation. Family Islands Banking: Acting PM Chester Cooper says government is pushing digital banking and Sand Dollar/digital wallets as physical banking access declines, citing Exuma ATM restrictions. Digital Sovereignty Push: Economic Affairs Minister Jerome Fitzgerald called for a regional digital sovereignty pact to prevent “digital colonization” and coordinate cloud/data center policy.
