KINGSTON, Jamaica — The young professional affiliate of the People’s National Party (PNP), PNP Patriots, has joined the call for Dr Andrew Wheatley to immediately resign from the Cabinet following findings outlined in a recent Integrity Commission (IC) investigation report.

The report, which was tabled in Parliament on Wednesday, recommends that Wheatley be charged with illicit enrichment. The Integrity Commission concluded that the St Catherine South Central Member of Parliament possessed assets disproportionate to his lawful earnings, amounting to approximately $164 million, and was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the discrepancy.

Wheatley has strongly rejected the report’s findings, issuing a detailed statement in which he accused investigators of disregarding evidence that he believes would have significantly altered the outcome of the investigation.
