Manley

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

The passing of Dr Douglas Manley is the end of an era in Jamaican politics. The era had symbolically ended in 1993 when Douglas had quit politics. Douglas and his flamboyant younger brother, Michael, and their father, Norman, had allowed the Manley family to dominate and influence Jamaica's politics for some 49 years since adult suffrage in 1944: http://bit.ly/18MJcjF
