It was an emotional Dr. Nigel Clarke who bid farewell to his North West St. Andrew constituents on Monday night.
He will depart Jamaica this Thursday – October 31- to assume his new role as deputy managing director at the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C.
His resignation as member of parliament and Finance Minster takes effect midnight tonight, Tuesday.
In his farewell address, Dr. Clarke used a cricket analogy to describe his success at the constituency level.
Dr. Clarke was speaking at the Jamaica Labour Party’s Area Council One meeting at the Pembroke Hall Community Centre.
He extolled his constituents for their support during his tenure as MP. Dr. Clarke says it was a privilege to serve.
And Dr. Clarke also thanked Prime Minister Andrew Holness and the JLP for giving him the opportunity to serve.
