PNP expresses concern about leaking of sections of IC report

The Opposition People’s National Party (PNP), has expressed concern about the leaking of sections of an Integrity Commission report.

Yesterday, the commission said it submitted to Parliament, two additional investigation reports, as well as an addendum to the investigation report it sent last week.

Sections of one of the reports were published in mainstream media yesterday.

In a statement this morning, PNP General Secretary Dr. Dayton Campbell said given the profound national importance of this issue, it is deeply concerning that parliament has yet to be reconvened to formally table the report. 

He said instead, information has been leaked to some media outlets before it has been made available to the public or members of parliament. 

Dr. Campbell said this reckless handling of such a critical matter is a gross violation of parliamentary protocol and the public’s trust. 

He said it marks a troubling moment in Jamaica’s democracy as this breach of confidentiality erodes public confidence.

Dr. Campbell called on Prime Minister Andrew Holness and the Speaker of the House to take immediate action by convening Parliament and ensuring that the Integrity Commission’s report is tabled in full. 

He noted that Jamaicans must not be subjected to selective leaks, as all citizens deserve full transparency and accountability.

The Prime Minister said the reports are expected to be tabled next Tuesday September 17.
