After weeks of speculation, Senator Sandrea Falconer, minister with responsibility for information, has confirmed that Opposition Leader Andrew Holness will participate in the visit of United States President Barack Obama.
Senator Falconer says Holness will be invited to at least one of the President's events.
Today's announcement follows the controversial social media post made by North West St Ann Member of Parliament, Dr. Dayton Campbell. Campbell posted a picture of an invitation to a town hall meeting for young leaders, which Obama is expected to attend on Thursday, and he questioned whether Holness had been invited.
He then went on to say that while Holness is young, the Opposition Leader is "not a good youth".
Campbell was condemned for the post. In a response hours later, Campbell dismissed the critics, labellingthem as "moral police".
