Emerson Barrett

Mayor of Kingston, Councilllor Andrew Swaby, JP joined by the Councillors, Management and Staff of the KSAMC mourn the passing of the late Emerson Barrett who transitioned on Thursday, January 9, 2025.

Affectionately known as “Ginard,” he first served as a Councillor in the then Kingston & St. Andrew Corporation (KSAC) during the 1960s and was re-elected in 1974. 

Notably, he held the distinguished position of Mayor of Kingston from 1970 to 1971. He then broadened his horizons moving into national service as Member of Parliament for East Rural St. Andrew and later as Jamaica’s Consul General to Miami.

A strong representative of the people, he relentlessly sought opportunities to advance the cause of all Jamaicans regardless of political affiliation or status, he ensured that equity, the provision of opportunities for all and transparency were the hallmarks of his enduring legacy. 

His life reflected the epitome of service above self and a passion for nation building.

As the KSAMC bids him farewell, he shall ever be remembered as a shining example of leadership, excellence and integrity.

May his Soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine upon him.
