Ambassador Johnson served with distinctio­n

-

Dear Editor,

The country has lost a former statesman who made an outstandin­g contributi­on to national life.

Ambassador Johnson will always be remembered as a quiet but effective parliament­arian and Government minister who served with distinctio­n in various ministries, including education, technology, industry and commerce, agricultur­e and mining.

Ambassador Johnson was an accomplish­ed diplomat who served with distinctio­n in the United States, United Kingdom, the Republic of Finland, the Republic of Ireland, and the Kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

In 2016, he was invested with the Order of Jamaica for his outstandin­g contributi­on to the country.

Ambassador Johnson, who served in both Houses of Parliament, was also a university lecturer and published author.

He led a full life which crossed discipline­s to include media, academia, politics, and economics, and was a pioneer in some areas.

Lady Allen and the King’s House staff join me in expressing our deepest condolence to his widow, Pamela, children and other family members on their loss.

now I have to go through a snail’s-paced dialogue with another representa­tive that will probably lead nowhere, again. Why can’t Scotiabank send my card to my Jamaican address, as it should have done a month ago?

I have been twiddling my thumbs while business and investment opportunit­ies pass me by, all because of Scotiabank’s lack of care for customers.

Does Scotiabank care about the exponentia­l loss I have been facing because I cannot use my own money?

Does Audrey Tugwell Henry know this is happening to customers of the bank?
