Every day, I pray for Jamaica. We are living in uncertain times, and as Prime Minister, my duty is to keep our country safe and steady. That means choosing our path wisely and avoiding unnecessary problems, while staying true to our principles. Jamaica has always been a consistent and respected voice for small nations around the world. On many of the issues now being discussed globally, our position has long been clear. We give thanks to God for guiding us through challenging times, and we will

Corruption is one of the greatest threats to Jamaica’s progress, and it requires strong, decisive leadership. As Prime Minister, I have acted firmly against any member of my Party accused of wrongdoing. I myself have undergone a year-long forensic audit, every detail of my finances and personal life has been made public. The findings confirmed what I have always maintained: no corruption, no charges. I am the politician Jamaica knows most about. That transparency gives me the moral authority to

Long before Hurricane Melissa made landfall, the Government of Jamaica moved decisively to prepare the nation. Once forecasts signaled a potential direct hit, we activated national response protocols, declared Jamaica a threatened area under the Disaster Risk Management Act, and implemented price protection measures. Resources were allocated to all constituencies for emergency works and drain cleaning, shelters were opened and stocked, and evacuation guidance issued. Critical systems, ports, uti

Jamaica was among the first countries to publicly commit to supporting Haiti with security personnel and to call for greater international engagement to address the crisis there. However, there has been a slowdown in international momentum. The appetite to support Haiti appears to have waned. As Chairman, I reaffirm Jamaica’s unwavering commitment to our Caribbean brothers and sisters in Haiti. We cannot be true to our regional principles if we do not redouble our efforts to mobilize internation

Jamaica’s greatest challenge has long been the perception, and reality, of violence. When we formed the government in 2016, the murder rate stood at approximately 49 per 100,000. Today, that number is between 20 and 25 per 100,000, cut in half. While still above the regional average of 15, our progress is undeniable. Over the past decade, we have invested $98 billion in security, creating the most sophisticated crime-fighting capability in Jamaica’s history. This has targeted organized criminal

Jamaica has never been as resilient as it is now. No other government has had to deal with the scale and number of crises that we have had to deal with, and no other government but the Jamaica Labour Party Government could have taken us safely and successfully through those crises. It is because of our strong management that we were able to give back during Covid to cushion our Jamaicans who lost their sources of income. It is because of our strong leadership that we have been able to recover fr

For many years, people believed Jamaica couldn’t build big projects because we didn’t have the money. That was the old thinking. Today, that is no longer true. In fact, Government has doubled its capital budget over the last decade. The real problem has been how slowly we turn plans into action. Too often, our own systems delay projects. Before anything is built, it must go through several steps: approval, design, procurement, and contracts. These processes are important to protect taxpayers’ mo

Jamaica’s recovery matters to all of us. It matters that the country gets back on its feet quickly, that the economy starts moving again, and that we use this difficult moment as a chance to rebuild and grow. I also want people to understand how the donations we receive will be used. These funds are meant to help the most vulnerable and the most needy among us.

In Jamaica, our economy and our people come first. I want everyone here, especially investors, to know that the Government will not put your investments at risk. Politics and the economy are connected, and we are focused on keeping both strong. Our strength is the good relationship between government and the private sector. That includes everyone, from big businesses to the lady frying fish by the roadside. I will do nothing to stop her from selling her fish, supporting her family, and sending h

As we landed in Jamaica, the fantastic crew, including Jamaicans, reminded us that we shall rise again. I thought I’d share this as many Jamaicans fly home to support the rebuilding efforts, and others return to rebuild their own homes that were damaged or destroyed. We shall rise again. As is customary, I was met by the acting prime minister during my absence, Minister Olivia Grange, and our national security heads who provided security updates. | Andrew Holness

Under our administration, Jamaica has seen real results; we’ve halved the national debt, created 280,000 new jobs, brought 85,000 more people into the labor force, and tripled the minimum wage. Over the last three years, we’ve cut murders by 55%, all without introducing new taxes. Looking ahead, pensioners and those earning up to six million dollars will pay no income tax, and everyone will benefit from a new, graduated tax structure. We are adding 60,000 new homes, 15% dedicated to young people

Officers who are not only enforcing the law but counselling families, supporting communities, mentoring young people, and resolving domestic disputes before they escalate This is the kind of peacebuilding work that does not always make headlines, but it is making a real difference in the lives of the people they serve I also met you

In 2025, murders fell to 673, down from 1,147 in 2024. That is a 43% reduction. Over two years, murders have dropped by more than 50%. For the first time in 31 years, killings fell below 700. And in January 2026, murders were down 55% compared to January last year. These are lives saved and communities finding peace again. W

Jamaica welcomes the support of our regional partners following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa, a storm that, except for COVID-19, may be described as the disaster of the century. The scale of destruction is unlike anything we have seen in decades. Entire communities along the storm’s path were flattened, trees snapped like twigs, and the once-green Cockpit Country now bears a haunting, winter-like appearance. Yet, amid this devastation, the resilience of our people shines through,
