🔘 DEVELOPING: Jamaica restricting official travel until end of March 2027

The Jamaican Government has imposed an immediate ban on official overseas travel by ministers and public sector officials until March 31, 2027, except in special circumstances. This coincides with mounting scrutiny on government spending amid a slow Hurricane Melissa recovery and rising inflation, one year after the disaster.

▫️The directive, issued by Cabinet Secretary Audrey Sewell, applies across the public sector, regardless of whether travel is funded by taxpayers or external organisations. 

▫️The Government says the unprecedented destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa demands strict spending controls, with financial resources and the attention of senior officials focused on reconstruction, economic recovery and public services.

▫️ Previously approved trips must be reviewed, while non-essential conferences, training and ceremonial engagements should be deferred or conducted virtually.

▫️Overseas travel may only be permitted for post-Melissa reconstruction and recovery, national security, approved board meetings, essential tourism promotion and genuine emergencies of compelling national importance.

▫️ All exceptions require prior written approval from the Cabinet Secretary, supported by justification of the necessity of the trip, cost and expected benefits.

I extend warm congratulations to Dr. Godwin Friday on his election as Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

This is an important moment for the Vincentian people, who have participated in a peaceful and democratic process to shape the future of their nation. I wish Dr. Friday every success as he undertakes the responsibility of national leadership, and I pray God’s guidance and wisdom upon him in the work ahead.

Jamaica values its close friendship with St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and we look forward to strengthening our cooperation as we continue to build a more resilient and prosperous Caribbean region together.

May this new chapter bring hope, unity, and progress for all Vincentians at home and across the diaspora.

Customs advises: Import Duty and GCT on hurricane relief items have been temporarily suspended (Oct 29–Nov 28, 2025).

Applies to approved goods only. Items imported before Oct 29 not eligible @JamaicaGleaner @JamaicaObserver @RJRNewsOnline @CVMTV @NationwideRadio

Clarification that Jamaica is the 1st small country in the world to do this. Larger countries have done it. But, Jamaica is the 1st in the world to use the “cat-in-grid” approach which divides the country into grids showing centralized air pressures to determine the payout size

#Note If you are journeying to Black River to sightsee now is NOT the time. We are managing lives and trying to provide relief , there is no need for additional cars and people just to see how it stay. Please I beg you.

I think what shocked those condescending Americans the most is the ferocity of the responses 😂. They would do well to understand the nature of the average Jamaican. We don’t play disrespect iyah. None at all.
