Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness says one of the most important contributions late world-renowned coach Stephen Francis made to Jamaica was his confidence in his country.
Francis, one of the founders of Maximising Velocity & Power (MVP) Track and Field Club in 1999, passed away in July, one day after his 64th birthday.
In a tribute delivered by Finance Minister Fayval Williams at the thanksgiving service for Francis on Saturday, Holness noted that the formation of MVP came at a time when leaving Jamaica was often regarded as the pathway to the highest levels of athletics.
