AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Energy & Power Reliability: Energy Minister JoBeth Coleby-Davis warned New Providence residents to expect “some service interruptions” this summer, saying Bahamas Power & Light’s Summer Readiness Programme is working through “growing pains” tied to major upgrades. Local Governance & Budgets: Works and Family Island Affairs Minister Clay Sweeting said every one of the country’s 33 local government districts will get higher budget allocations in 2026-2027, alongside moves to regularize more than 100 local government employees. NHI Funding Clash: A National Health Insurance provider warned the scheme is heading for a “dystopian future” if payment delays and provider-government disputes continue, despite a $24.5m increase for the NHIA. Grand Bahama Priorities: Central Grand Bahama MP Frazette Gibson used the budget debate to press on healthcare conditions at Rand Memorial and ongoing questions around Grand Bahama Power Company arrangements and power outages. Cruise Port & Public Safety: A Paradise Island brawl involving Royal Caribbean guests has reignited calls for tougher cruise-area bans, while separate reports detail arrests of American cruise passengers after violence escalated from Nassau Cruise Port to a police station. Transparency in Contracts: Long Island MP Dr Andre Rollins demanded the PLP disclose whether convicted drug trafficker Eric Gardiner donated to party campaigns, pointing to major contracts linked to a company tied to Gardiner. Aviation & Tourism Links: Breeze Airways launched twice-weekly nonstop service between Nassau and Tampa, with tourism officials calling it a major new demand driver.
