the CHOG Conference are scathing.
In a nutshell JA sold out the Caribbean and Africa so that the racist Boris Johnson could keep reparations from teh COmmonwealth agenda.
A pox on all of those who destroyed JA's good standing with Africa. The JLP never gave a damn about the rest of the Caribbean - well these days Handrew et al love the racist DR.

The Hon Kamina Johnson Smith, our minister of foreign affairs and foreign trade, was defeated in her challenge against Baroness Patricia Scotland, by three votes, for the position of secretary-general of the Commonwealth. This is a classic example of how not to go about seeking a position in an international organisation.
Minister Johnson Smith and Prime Minister Andrew Holness broke all the conventional rules and protocols in their bid to unseat the incumbent, Baroness Patricia Scotland, who secured victory over Johnson Smith by a margin of 27 24 votes. A narrow victory but a victory nevertheless.
The move by Johnson Smith and Prime Minister Holness has divided the Caribbean Community. It has nothing to do with the personality, knowledge, or competence of Minister Johnson Smith. It has to do with a government that seems not to have a clearly defined foreign policy but makes decisions on the basis of which government asks it to do so.
They broke the long-standing tradition of a country from the Caribbean putting itself forward for an international position only when it has the full backing and support of a united Caribbean Community.
