Member of Parliament for Central St Mary Omar Newell is urging greater efforts to honour 18th-century freedom-fighter Chief Takyi, arguing that the revolutionary’s legacy could anchor a globally competitive heritage tourism industry in Jamaica. Newell, a first-time MP, made the call while addressing a commemorative ceremony marking National Chief Takyi Day on April 8. The event, organised by the St Mary Municipal Corporation, was held Wednesday at Claude Stuart Park in Port Maria.
