Our security forces continue to work together to secure lasting peace and security.

I want to encourage Jamaicans to keep supporting the work of our security forces. Their commitment and hard work are making a difference, and we must all play our part in keeping our communities safe.

I also commend the Jamaican security personnel who recently served in Antigua. Approximately 100 members of the JCF and JDF supported the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.

Our security forces continue to serve Jamaica and the wider Caribbean, and I thank them for their dedication and service.

Preserving Jamaica’s natural heritage.

The National Conservation Trust Fund of Jamaica’s Bring Yuh Basket is more than a picnic; it is a celebration of our island’s extraordinary biodiversity and a meaningful step towards safeguarding our natural capital.

Together, let us build a more resilient Jamaica, where our natural resources continue to sustain our communities, livelihoods and future generations.
See you there!

Happy Diwali to our Hindu community in Jamaica and all who celebrate the Festival of Lights. 🪔

Diwali’s timeless message, the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance, offers hope and inspiration to us all. Even the smallest flame reminds us that each of us can bring light into the lives of others through kindness, compassion and service.

As families gather and diyas are lit, I celebrate the Hindu community’s valued contribution to Jamaica and the rich diversity that gives meaning to our motto, “Out of Many, One People.”

May this Diwali bring peace to your homes, joy to your families and renewed hope for the year ahead.

At the recently held Post Cabinet Press Briefing, Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister, with responsibility for Science, Technology and Special Projects, Dr. the Hon. Andrew Wheatley, provided details on the National Cyber Security Coordination and Assurance Council (NCCAC), approved by Cabinet.

The Council will coordinate Jamaica’s national cybersecurity efforts, bringing together key government agencies, security and law enforcement bodies, regulators, the private sector and academia.

With a 24-month mandate, the NCCAC will focus on advancing cybersecurity legislation, completing the updated National Cyber Security Strategy and Policy, coordinating the adoption of the National Cyber Security Framework and operationalising the National Cyber Incident Response Plan.

Housed in the Office of the Prime Minister, the Council will strengthen coordination across critical sectors and lay the groundwork for a permanent national cybersecurity authority.
