AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoVehicle Controls: Jamaica’s National Security Council has ordered Tax Administration Jamaica to stop issuing current dealer and demonstration plates, citing misuse for unregistered road use, crime and tax evasion. It wants a temporary system linking each plate to a specific vehicle, with GPS and RFID tracking. Drug Interdiction: Police say they have seized 8,734 kilogrammes of cocaine since January—74 per cent of the total seized during the previous decade. The NSC warned that trafficking routes shifting in the region could increase pressure on Jamaica. Gun Penalties: The NSC has recommended a 20-year minimum sentence for illegal firearm possession, up from 15 years, and a new offence for adults who recruit children into gun crimes. Proposed changes are due for consultation, with a gun amnesty and buy-back planned beforehand. Housing: Prime Minister Andrew Holness urged owners of unused land in developed areas to consider selling to the Government for social housing, as land shortages contribute to squatting.
