KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness says he will be meeting with embattled Minister of Science, Technology and Special Projects Dr Andrew Wheatley after Monday’s cabinet meeting to discuss the troubling investigation report from the Integrity Commission (IC) which found that Wheatley illicitly enriched himself.
There have been calls for the prime minister to boot Wheatley from the Cabinet since the report went public after it was tabled in the Parliament last Wednesday.
The IC recommended that the Member of Parliament for St Catherine South Central be charged with illicit enrichment, false declarations and failure to provide information. According to the IC, Wheatley possessed assets disproportionate to his lawful earnings, amounting to approximately $164 million, and failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the discrepancy.
