A DAY IN THE LIFE OF PRIME MINISTER HOLNESS
PHEW! DOES he ever stop? Spend a day with Prime Minister Andrew Holness and you’ll find yourself asking this very question. The Gleaner’s Multimedia Photo Editor Ricardo Makyn spent Wednesday, February 15 with him from 5:45 a.m. to 8:50 p.m., and even then, Mr Holness’ day was going on and on. Our dog-tired photographer had to call it a day after about 15 hours. He said he had to leave Mr Holness in his constituency, asking himself the question: Does he ever stop? And to think, his security detail reported that February 15 was not one of his busiest days. Take a look at some of the pictures captured by Makyn and see more online at www.jamaica-gleaner.com.
