The youth arm of the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) is demanding that Opposition Leader Mark Golding provide a full public explanation on the certification status of his 2024 income and asset filing with the Integrity Commission.

Young Jamaica, in a statement issued Thursday, described as "implausible and fanciful" Golding's suggestion that staffing problems at the Integrity Commission may be responsible for the prolonged delay in the certification of his statutory declaration.

"Young Jamaica finds this explanation unsatisfactory and insufficient to account for the prolonged delay in the certification process," the group said.
