| Hon. Oswald Harding |
In expressing regret at Mr. Harding’s passing, Jamaica Labour Party Deputy Leader, the Honourable Desmond McKenzie, noted that Mr. Harding was a founding member of the Party’s influential Area Council 1, a former Deputy Chairman, and, at the time of his passing, was a Trustee of the Party.
Mr. Harding also served as President of the Senate, Attorney General, a Cabinet Minister, and was the Jamaica Labour Party’s former candidate for East Rural St. Andrew.
Deputy Leader McKenzie commented:
“The late Oswald Harding, whom many of us affectionately called Ossie, gave yeoman service to the Jamaica Labour Party. He also served Jamaica across several sectors. He was deeply committed to nation-building and genuinely believed in giving priority to initiatives that were in Jamaica’s best interest. We hail his contribution as being impactful, significant, and worthy of emulation.”
Deputy Leader McKenzie further commented:
“Ossie’s public service, given over many decades, no doubt required tremendous sacrifice. The Jamaica Labour Party is grateful to him and also appreciative of his family for allowing him the time to serve his Party and country with distinction. We express our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. The Honourable Oswald Harding was no doubt a great Jamaican.”
Mr. Harding died recently at age 90 after battling illness.
He is known as the longest-serving senator in Jamaica’s history. He was born in Kingston in 1935.
Mr. Harding was the first person to serve as President of the Senate of Jamaica for two non-consecutive terms, serving from 1980 to 1984 and from 2007 to 2011.
In 1986, he was appointed Minister of Justice and also became the Attorney General of Jamaica.
