AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

ICJ Essequibo Push: Guyana says it left the final oral hearings “more confident than ever” that the ICJ will uphold the 1899 Arbitral Award as the final boundary, while Venezuela again rejected the court’s role and leaned on the 1966 Geneva framework and a 2023 referendum mandate. Healthcare Modernisation: The Health Ministry is rolling out digital patient records at GPHC, with a first phase targeted for year-end, and is also introducing quality audits to tighten clinical standards. Diabetes Drug Watch: A generic Ozempic is expected soon, but Health Minister Frank Anthony warns it must be prescription-only and used under medical supervision. Flood Response & Infrastructure: Heavy rains are stressing drainage; Ali says 200+ pumps are running and more are being deployed, while MARAD signed a US$11.2M dredging contract to improve the Demerara Channel. Politics & Governance: PPP General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo met former APNU MPs and councillors signaling openness to support; meanwhile, opposition MPs renewed calls for oversight of state surveillance and fair access to small public contracts. Digital ID: Over 21,000 Guyanese have enrolled for E-ID cards, with most issued and a 200,000 target by end-2026.
