Based on media reports and calls from journalists, I understand that I am the subject of an Integrity Commission report that was sent to Parliament but has not yet been tabled.
In the interest of openness, I wish to state that my 2022 statutory declaration was unfortunately late due to a delay in getting all the relevant documents. Shortly after the deadline, the documents were submitted and I have since fully complied with all the requirements.
As a public servant, I take my responsibilities seriously and while the statutory declaration was delayed it is not connected with illicit enrichment. All my statutory declarations have been certified and the late-filing penalty of $250,000 has been paid.
I remain committed to serving my constituents and the people of Jamaica with integrity, transparency and accountability.
