Minister Bartlett honoured
IT CAME as no surprise when Lachu Ramchandani and Danny Galani, owner of Landmark Plaza and Mainland China Restaurant, teamed up to honour Minister, Edmund Bartlett, CD, MP – aptly named ‘World’s Best Tourism Minister’ – in recognition of his outstanding contribution to tourism.
They have both put on several functions together to show their appreciation to numerous persons in recognition of their contribution to society such as a birthday party for Minister Delroy Chuck to celebrate his 68th birthday; a luncheon for India’s High Commissioner, Mr Sevela Naik; and several others.
Ramchandani wants Jamaica, especially the business community, to lend its support and show its appreciation for the hard working stalwarts of the country.
