Andrew Wynter

Chief Executive Officer, Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA), Andrew Wynter will be my guest on Monday, July 24, 2023, during Be My Guest. He has over 30 years of experience in the fields of security, risk and general management.

Under Mr. Wynter's leadership, PICA is now ISO 9000 certified.

Mr. Andrew Wynter is an ex-member of the Jamaica Defence Force. PICA like the NHF is one of a well-organized government entity. This would have been impacted on the high level of communication. Years ago when you applied for your passport you would forget about it and hope to get it in the future. Today, the passport can be ready in a day after the application has been submitted.

Nadine Williams

It's a Monday and it's Consumer Prices on a Monday when Nadine Williams and Anthony Gayle will join me to give us feedback from the farmers and also to give us the prices that were obtained for agricultural products at the Coronation Market in Kingston.

Prices of agricultural items have been increasing over the past few weeks. Anthony reports that more yams are being exported hence the increase in prices.
