KINGSTON, Jamaica— The Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) has joined the growing number of organisations urging Prime Minister Andrew Holness to remove Dr Andrew Wheatley from the Cabinet following findings by the Integrity Commission that he should face charges linked to alleged illicit enrichment and other offences.

The PSOJ has added its voice to the several organisations and church groups calling for Wheatley to be removed from his role as Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister until the matter is fully and conclusively resolved.

It said if Wheatley is removed from his ministerial role it would serve to preserve public confidence, protect the integrity of the office and reinforce the strength of Jamaica’s governance framework.
