Kamla dares them in Jamaica
AT the “Jamaica Night” party to wrap up the 31st Caricom Heads of Government conference in Montego Bay Wednesday, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar arrived well into the session. She swept onto the dance floor almost immediately and began swirling around, to the beat of the golden oldies reggae and rock steady music from the live band.
In seconds, she was making rings around the conference and the party host, Jamaica Prime Minister Bruce Golding. Shortly thereafter she was up on the stage. She grabbed a microphone and was singing the lyrics of “One Love”, the Bob Marley anthem that had formed part of her campaign repertoire for the May 24 general election that brought her to the prime ministership in Trinidad and Tobago.
