Miss Lou and Bob Marley will be made National Heroes under PNP - Golding

Jamaican Reggae superstar Bob Marley and cultural icon Louise Bennett-Coverley would be made national heroes if the Mark Golding-led People's National Party (PNP) forms the government after the next general elections.

The polls are constitutionally due by September.

Golding, the Opposition Leader, said making Marley and Bennett-Cloverley national heroes "will be a priority action when we form the government".

"We will confer the Order of National Hero on the Honourable Louise Bennett-Cloverley, making her our second female National Heroine."

Further, he said as Jamaica cements the spirit of 'One Love' - Marley's iconic global anthem - a PNP-led government would also commemorate the significance of "fi wi" language in expressions and identity.
