Minister of Foreign Affairs Kamina Johnson Smith has rejected an assertion by former Prime Minister P J Patterson that the government flouted the authority of Parliament when Jamaica abstained from voting at the United Nations (UN) to lift the United States (US) embargo against Cuba. Johnson Smith also insisted, in a statement on Sunday, that the Cuban people deserve more than “an annual repeated expression of solidarity that has not achieved its central objective”.
