There is a “glaring inconsistency” in de facto Science, Technology and Special Projects Minister Dr Andrew Wheatley’s failure to resign and Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness’ failure to remove him from his Cabinet position pending the outcome of impending criminal charges, one civil society group has asserted.
The Jamaica Accountability Meter Portal (JAMP) made the assertion in a statement on Monday, hours after Holness indicated in a radio interview that Wheatley “retains my confidence in the work that he has been doing”.
The Director of Corruption Prosecution at the Integrity Commission (IC) has ruled that Wheatley, the Member of Parliament for St Catherine South Central, is to be charged with illicit enrichment and other corruption-related offences.
