And I am sure that Mr Williams can also tell you how important it is to plan,” Robinson said. “I use this occasion to underscore, once again, the need for retirement plans among all Jamaicans.”
The labour minister was speaking at a rescheduled Centenarians’ Day celebration at Trittonville Baptist Church in Trelawny on Thursday for the two senior citizens. The event was slated for Friday, May 20, but was postponed because of heavy rain.
