AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Fuel Prices & Politics: The UWP is urging the Dominica government to push CARICOM talks with Guyana for cheaper fuel after new petroleum prices took effect May 5, with the party citing sharp percentage increases across gasoline and diesel. Environment at OECS: Environment Minister Cozier Frederick says more regional action is needed on climate protection, calling for climate financing, capacity building and wider public involvement as OECS ministers meet in Dominica. Dominica State College: The Dominica Public Service Union says it will meet Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit in early June to address long-running concerns at the college, including subvention shortfalls, delayed leadership appointments, incomplete repairs and staffing issues. Electoral Commission Reset: In an open letter, Gregor Nassief calls for a reset of the Electoral Commission, arguing public confidence and the confirmation process for the new voters’ list have fallen short ahead of the October 15 election date. Marigot Fisheries Complex: PM Skerrit continues consultations on making the Marigot Fisheries Complex a port of entry, stressing it won’t disrupt fishers’ livelihoods and could boost local business. Tourism Push: Tourism Awareness Month 2026 was launched as arrivals rise, with wellness tourism and upgrades to key sites highlighted. Education: Over 700 students begin the 2026 Grade Six National Assessment today and tomorrow across 62 centres. Power Supply Update: DOMLEC says Tuesday’s load shedding was linked to a fault at Fond Cole Power Plant and repairs are underway, with geothermal expected to return Thursday. Seniors & Access: The Dominica Council on Ageing is calling for elderly-friendly building designs and consultation before construction. Regional Travel Reality Check: CARICOM data from a border summit suggests free movement hasn’t triggered mass migration waves, with Dominica reporting only five moves under the regime. Regional Airlift Shock: Caribbean Airlines is cutting routes, including discontinuing service to Dominica from June 1, as it restructures after losses.
