Zavia Mayne, MP for St. Ann South Western
One of the four Members of Parliament named along with Prime Minister Andrew Holness as not yet getting the all clear from the Integrity Commission regarding statutory declarations for 2017 has expressed surprise at being included in the list.
In an interview with RJR News, Zavia Mayne, MP for St. Ann South Western, said he was not contacted by the Commission regarding issues with his declarations.
Mr. Mayne said he will be writing the Commission seeking clarification.
In a report tabled in the House of Representatives last week, the Integrity Commission said the statutory filings of the Prime Minister and four other parliamentarians were examined but not cleared.
Apart from Mr. Mayne, the other parliamentarians yet to get clearance at the time of publication were Ian Hayles, Luther Buchanan and Leslie Campbell.
When contacted, Mr. Hayles and Mr. Campbell said there were minor issues oustanding regarding their declarations which will be dealt with.
The declarations of former Parliamentarians Ruel Reid, Arnaldo Brown and Keith Walford were also yet to be cleared.
Others including State Minister Alando Terrelonge, Richard Parchment, Juliet Cuthbert Flynn, Kerensia Morrison and Arnaldo Brown were reported to the Director of Public Prosecutions for either not filing a statutory declaration to the Integrity Commission or failing to provide additional information that was requested.
Parliamentarians are required by law to submit a statutory declaration of their assets, liabilities and income at the date of their election or appointment and then by December 31 each year.
The reports are required as part of anti-corruption efforts.
