The following is a statement from the JLP regarding the death of former JLP MP Russell Hammond:

Hammond was first elected MP for Westmoreland from 1983 to 1989. 

He was a respected and successful businessman, philanthropist, and political representative. 

Though he didn’t succeed in subsequent elections, he played a significant role in laying the foundation for the party's current success in the western parishes of Westmoreland and Hanover being a very active member of area council. 

Prime Minister and Party Leader Andrew Holness says Hammond was a great friend of himself and the party as well as an important player in the development of his community. 

“Hammond was a stalwart and an example of selfless dedication to his country. His memory will live on in the positive impact he has made in the lives of many people and his focus on the development of Westmoreland in particular”

The Jamaica Labour Party extends its deepest regret to his wife, children, friends, and colleagues.

Note: 

I will appreciate any update from family members about these persons because I have been getting questions from persons in Jamaica, and the rest of the world enquiring about their health. It is expected that when you are well known, persons will become anxious about any deterioration in your health. One person contacted me recently to say that she was in a state of depression because she was unaware of the status of a well-known personality who she loves dearly.
