The People’s National Party has condemned the Government’s move to remove the Auditor General (AG) as a Commissioner of the Integrity Commission.

During yesterday’s meeting of the Joint Select Committee on the Integrity Commission Act, Government member Everald Warmington’s proposal for the AG’s removal from the Commission was accepted.

According to Mr. Warmington, the law states that the AG should not be a part of any other board or public body.

Opposition members expressed that they believe the AG should remain a Commissioner. However, the Government members gave arguments for removal. With the governing side having the majority, Mr. Warmington’s suggestion was accepted.

During this morning’s meeting of the Committee, Opposition member Donna Scott Mottley who was absent from Wednesday’s meeting expressed her concern with the decision.

In a statement this afternoon, Opposition Leader Mark Golding said the decision represents what he described as yet another step in a broader pattern of deliberate, strategic, and dangerous assaults by the Holness administration on Jamaica’s anti-corruption architecture.

Mr. Golding said the Auditor General has been a member of Jamaica’s principal integrity oversight bodies since independence.

The Opposition Leader has called on various groups in society to speak out against what he said is the systematic dismantling of Jamaica’s democratic safeguards.
