AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Immigration & Work Permits: Minister Arthur Dowers urged participants in “Hunto pa Progreso” not to wait—first temporary permits start expiring end of October, and people without employers must act now to enter the regular process. Public Works & Permitting Backlog: Local merchants (CUA) say the Department of Public Works is leaving permit applicants hanging for over a year, calling for clear numbers and a concrete plan to clear the backlog. Tourism & City Revitalization: Minister Geoffrey Wever backed Oranjestad momentum with the ArtisA opening in the former Aruba Bank building, part of a wider push to bring more foot traffic downtown. Waste Management Tender Scrutiny: PPA leader Eduard Pieters pressed the government to prove legal tender steps for an Aruba Tourism Authority waste-management contract worth about 2.1 million florins per year. Justice & Infrastructure Oversight: Dowers made unannounced checks at KIA, the Watty Vos police training institute, and DIMAS, stressing early fixes to avoid delays. Education Repairs: Minister Gerlien Croes said three schools need over 13 million florins in urgent repairs, warning of weak long-term maintenance planning. Public Safety & Mobility: Dowers reiterated e-steps are not allowed on public roads, while residents in Mabon renewed calls for speed bumps to protect pedestrians near Famia Supermarket. Health Services: ImSan marked its JCI Gold Seal reaccreditation, and a director selection process is now underway. Connectivity: Aruba-Venezuela air links resumed after a seven-year gap with the first Caracas charter flight. Law & Order Milestone: The Aruba Police Force marked 40 years with a Mass and parade, with Dowers emphasizing integrity and public trust.
