It may be left up to Juliet Holness whether she wants to sit in the new Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Cabinet or not.

Her husband Andrew Holness, the JLP leader and Prime Minister-designate, told the

Jamaica Observer last night that while she is definitely qualified to be included in the Cabinet, it would be up to her to decide whether she wants to sit in the executive.

“Of course, my wife is fit for Cabinet duties. As to whether or not she wants to be in the Cabinet, that’s another consideration”.

But Holness said he needed some time to digest what happened last night, and when he will settle on his Cabinet.

“I haven’t gotten a chance to digest it yet, but the thought is appealing,” he said about having his wife in the Parliament with him.

“My wife is my greatest supporter in everything I do. She is with me in every single thing I do. So, it would be good to have her in Parliament. But, of course, she is an independent woman, and she has won her seat in her own right. She also wants to serve, but she has latched on to supporting me in achieving some of the goals that I have and she has worked to do that as long as we have been together, and we have been together for a very long time. So, I am looking forward to having her in Parliament,” he said
