State Minister of Tourism and Entertainment Damion Crawford is greeted by Rev Dr Wellesley Blair at the thanksgiving service for the new Simpson Miller administration held at the Portmore New Testament Church of God in St Catherine on Sunday, January 8. We go further – Were Crawford a practising Rastafarian, would PM Portia Simpson Miller have been willing to launch off her administration at a Rastafarian place of worship?
