Richard Morais, Gleaner WriterMARTHA BRAE, Trelawny:
Member of Parliament and Speaker for the House of Representative for the Turks and Caicos Islands, Karen Delancey, is emphasising Caribbean unity in what she is describing as the unification of many states in the world.
She stresses that: "The CARICOM ideal, which is rapidly becoming a reality, is pivotal to the further growth and development of the region as an economic force in this our ever-increasing mega state world."
She was addressing the People's National Party's (PNP) North Trelawny Constituency Committee Annual Awards Ceremony and Banquet at the William Knibb Memorial High School on Saturday.
"We in these God-given islands must see ourselves as one people with one economic goal; the Jamaican people have always had my utmost respect," she said. "This multi-talented society has always been a beacon of hope for the wider Caribbean community."
Thirty PNP workers were awarded from the rank of former councillor to ordinary membership.
