Written bySugar Ray Thomas
Opposition Spokesperson on Foreign, Regional and Diaspora Affairs, Senator Donna Scott-Mottley has hailed the historic ties between Jamaica and Ghana.
She was speaking on behalf of the Opposition at a special joint sitting of both houses of Parliament this morning.
It was held to welcome President of Ghana, John Mahama who is on a state visit to Jamaica.
She explained that the visit of the Ghanaian leader goes far beyond diplomacy, as it reminds Jamaicans of their ancestors from the West African nation.
Mrs. Scott-Mottley said the traditions of enslaved people from Ghana remain evident in the island’s culture today.
