Webber rises to top PNP role amid internal unease
The People’s National Party (PNP) has appointed long-time organiser Maureen Webber as its National Projects Director, a move that some senior party figures say could rival the influence of the general secretary. Webber, a former deputy general secretary and technical director of the party’s failed 2025 general election campaign, will report to General Secretary Dr Dayton Campbell, PNP President Mark Golding said in a statement on Tuesday. Golding said Campbell “continues to hold full responsibility for the administration and organisational affairs of the party.”
‘Serious mistake’
The Court of Appeal says it overturned an ex-policeman’s 2021 murder conviction after finding that his claim of self-defence was not properly addressed during the trial, a lapse that undermined the fairness of the proceedings. The written reasons, handed down last Friday, follow orders, made on June 27, setting aside Oshane Thompson’s life sentence for the shooting death of Kriston Pearson at a party in Port Maria, St Mary, in May 2017. It ordered a retrial.
‘Knockout blow’
The Supreme Court has thrown out an application brought by the People’s National Party’s Paul Buchanan to overturn the results of the St Andrew West Central general election which he lost to Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness. Buchanan, who was the Opposition Party’s candidate, filed an application for permission to seek judicial review of the decision of the Constituted Authority not to apply to the Election Court to void the results of the September 3 poll.
STARS ALIGN?
CELEBRATING THEIR 50th anniversary, the 30th anniversary of their ‘triple crown’ season and being coached by the captain of their 1988 Manning Cup-winning team, the stars seem to be aligning this year for Charlie Smith High School. A school steeped in schoolboy football history, Charlie Smith have been enjoying an impressive season in the Manning Cup, leaving them dreaming of glory. Founded in 1975, Charlie Smith entered the Manning Cup in 1979 and claimed their first title nearly a decade later, winning the 1988 crown, led by captain Eugene ‘Big Head’ Williams.

Something Extra | Monday
Deh Yah lit up Skyline Levels in St Andrew on Friday night as music, culture, and community converged with purpose and style. Attendees brought the fashion both on and off the stage, with performers and patrons turning the venue into a runway of expressive Caribbean cool as they enjoyed sets from a host of performers, including Sevana, Royal Blu, Zac Jone$, and mixes by DJs Reiizzzr and Fatalic. With 100 per cent of proceeds supporting hurricane relief for the Lower Prosper community in Santa Cruz, culture showed up with heart and flair.
Editorial | Income-linked student loans
The Government’s movement to implement its so-called debt-reset programme for student borrowers will be of unquestionable value to the debtors, especially in an economically difficult post-hurricane period. However, the scheme, rolled out last week by the Students’ Loan Bureau (SLB) in fulfilment of the administration’s campaign promise for the September’s general election, is unlikely to provide a long-term, sustainable fix to the problem of financing tertiary education, or to the perennial crisis of students’ repayment arrears.
