Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) Executive Director Mickel Jackson is calling for the immediate removal of Dr Andrew Wheatley as a Cabinet minister pending the outcome of criminal charges recommended against him by the Integrity Commission.
"Minister Andrew Wheatley is facing serious corruption charges, including illicit enrichment of some J$164 million. He has asserted his innocence. Notwithstanding, he should be immediately removed from Cabinet pending the outcome of the case," Jackson said in a post on social media site X on Wednesday.
The call follows a position taken the same day by Opposition Leader Mark Golding, who issued a formal statement demanding Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness act without hesitation to remove Wheatley.
