46 years ago today! On 13 June 1980, a remote control bomb, disguised in a walkie-talkie, handed to #WalterRodney by a senior military officer, Gregory Smith, was the weapon used to assassinate him. The bomb exploded in Walter Rodney's lap, ending his life. He was 38 YEARS OLD!

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of an icon of Jamaican music Wilburn Theodore “Stranger” Cole.

For more than six decades Stranger helped shape the sound and evolution of Jamaican music from Ska through Rocksteady to Reggae.

Tonight I extend condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Ernie Smith, who passed away peacefully at 7:54pm.

A true musical giant, his timeless hits and powerful voice touched generations. More than an icon, he was a devoted family man and a gift to Jamaica and the world.

💪We've reduced polio cases by 99.9% since 1988 and have the tools and know how to finish the job.

During #WorldImmunizationWeek, 24-30 April, help us spread the word that urgent, renewed commitment is needed to #EndPolio for good and fulfill our promise of a polio-free world.

St Kitts and Nevis become first Caribbean nation to recognise Rastafari faith in law

The Prime Minister further highlighted the importance of respecting Rastafari not only as a religion, but as a way of life that is deeply rooted in the identity of many citizens.

“It is written in our Constitution, Madam Speaker, but we took a step to recognize Rastafarianism as a religion in Saint Kitts and Nevis as a faith practice, or what the members who practice it prefer to call it a way of life, a faith based way of life,” he added.
