Tributes have come in from across Jamaica's political divide following the death of former Attorney General, Justice Minister and Senate President, Professor Oswald Harding, who has been hailed as one of the country's most distinguished legal minds and public servants.
Harding, who died after battling illness, was 90.
The longest-serving senator in Jamaica's history, Harding served as president of the Senate from 1980 to 1984 and again from 2007 to 2011, becoming the first person to hold the office during two non-consecutive terms. He was appointed minister of justice and attorney general in 1986 and, in later years, helped establish the law faculty at the University of Technology (UTech), Jamaica.
