This I truly believe:
“Government must be reset and reorganised to meet the needs of our country. Government must be frugal and disciplined in its use of public resources, agile in its decisions, and responsive to the people it serves.”
Heavy rains on Monday October 19, 2026 have left major flooding in Catherine Hall, Tucker & Granville/Retirement areas of St James West Central constituency. Additional drain cleaning & garbage removal will be carried and residents are urged to proceed with caution in the spaces.

Talk of constitutional reform is again filling the air in Guyana. In Nov 2022, Parliament passed Constitutional Reform Commission Act, creating Constitutional Reform Commission (CRC) to review Constitution of Guyana to provide for the current & future rights of Guyanese people.
Two important legal and constitutional reforms come into effect on September 15, 2026 in Singapore: The Maintenance of Racial Harmony Act 2025 (“Act”) and the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (Amendment) Act 2025, passed by Parliament on 4 February 2025 .
The RO takes immediate effect once a copy is given to person in question. Failure to comply is an offence. The new powers allow the Government to take swift and pre-emptive action against offensive content that can spread rapidly and may cause irreparable harm to social cohesion.

@jlpjamaica in government has taken a pragmatic approach to #constitutionalreform, to proceed with matters on which there is #bipartisan agreement, while working on areas of disagreement. Ultimately it is all about the best interest of the people of #Jamaica.
