An Integrity Commission investigation report in connection to Prime Minister Andrew Holness’s statutory declaration was tabled in Parliament today, September 17.

The report was tabled by House Clerk Colleen Lowe.

The report is in relation to the stautory declaration submitted by the Prime Minister for the years 2019-2022.

The investigation was in respect of concerns that he owns assets disproportionate to his lawful earnings and that he made false statements in his statutory declarations by way of omissions contrary to law.

The Integrity Commission’s indicative ruling was also tabled.

The Integrity Commission is one of the country’s anti-corruption agency, with a mission to achieve a corrupt-free society by preventing, detecting, investigating and prosecuting acts of corruption.

More to come.

“I have no food. I have no water. I have no shelter. That’s a cry coming from too many individuals in the West. It’s a cry that should have been or could have been from all of us in the rest of the island. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. We had Beryl in 2024, now Melissa in 2025. So today we have to respond to the cries of our brothers and sisters and at the same time build resiliency for the future,” Chin said.
