AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

BPL Overtime Clash: The government backed Bahamas Power and Light’s new overtime controls, calling an annual bill near $20m “unsustainable and unacceptable,” while the managers’ union says workers shouldn’t be publicly blamed for authorized overtime and raises privacy concerns. Power Outage Fallout: Opposition and the Bahamas Bar Association are pressing for concrete fixes after outages shut parts of the Supreme Court and disrupted services, with FNM deputy Shanendon Cartwright demanding a plan for school hours. CCJ Integrity Row: Caribbean judicial leaders and bar groups urged investigations into leaked CCJ judge emails, while CCJ President Winston Anderson denied claims of “panel fixing” and condemned unauthorized disclosure. Social Services Upgrade: PM Philip Davis commissioned the renovated Horseshoe Drive Outreach Centre, consolidating social services, gender and family affairs, shelter, and protection against violence under one roof. Digital Sovereignty Push: Bahamian leaders at CANTO’s conference argued for stronger regional digital systems, cybersecurity, and local innovation, framing modernization as a way to solve everyday public service pain points. Mental Health & Teens: After reported suicide attempts, the Bahamas Crisis Centre and church partners renewed calls to keep suicide ideation from being criminalized and to expand support training. Education & Training: BEMU and Education Minister Chester Cooper are set to meet to address union concerns around promotions and a new industrial agreement. Local Economy: Eleuthera’s Chamber backed a proposed $200m–$250m Governor’s Harbour luxury resort and residences, citing jobs and local business opportunities.
