A church body is urging Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness to remove Dr Andrew Wheatley from the Cabinet, arguing that allowing him to remain in office while he faces possible charges of illicit enrichment would undermine public confidence in national leadership.
The Jamaica Umbrella Groups of Churches (JUGC) on Thursday called for Wheatley, who is Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Science, Technology and Special Projects, to step aside pending the outcome of proceedings recommended by the Integrity Commission.
If Wheatley refuses, the organisation said Holness should relieve him of his ministerial responsibilities.
