Opposition Leader's Emancipation Day Message
|
|
My Jamaican brothers and sisters,
This year we celebrate Emancipation Day amidst the challenges and hardships that we continue to face as a nation.
Every year at this time I can imagine and feel the excitement of our ancestors as they prepared for the August Morning, referred by our ancestors as "Augus Mawnin", that promised them freedom.

Inaugural Address by The Honourable Bruce Golding, Prime Minister of Jamaica
|
|
Today, I assume the office of Prime Minister of Jamaica. I do so with deep humility, knowing well that while it is one of the highest offices of the land, it demands the highest service. The word "Minister" is a Latin word which means "servant". Therefore, today, I have become the chief servant of the people of Jamaica. I thank the people of Jamaica for the honour that has been bestowed on me to serve. I pledge to serve them diligently and faithfully, to work, as our National Pledge behoves us, "with the love and loyalty of my heart, the wisdom and courage of my mind and the strength and vigour of my body", to enable them to enjoy a better life. I pledge to the people of my country to at all times do what, in my best judgement, is right for Jamaica.
