The Jamaica Labour Party is asserting that there was nothing untoward in the business affairs of the Prime Minister.
Marlon Morgan, a member of the JLP Communication Task Force, believes there is nothing in the Integrity Commission's report to suggest illicit enrichment on the part of the Prime Minister.
"After expending $30-odd million, after having an international forensic auditor look at the Prime Minister's particulars and business affairs, personal business affairs, they would have found nothing that would have suggested impropriety or indeed illicit enrichment on the part of the Prime Minister. He complies with Jamaican law," Mr. Morgan maintained.
Speaking on TVJ's All Angles on Wednesday, the JLP spokesman said he is against the Integrity Commission referring the matter relating to Mr. Holness's statutory declarations to the Financial Investigations Division.
'Step aside'
But Opposition Spokesman on Finance Julian Robinson has doubled down on the opposition's call for Mr. Holness to step aside.
Mr. Robinson, who was also a guest on TVJ's All Angles, said the Prime Minister has misled the public about the investigation into his financial affairs.
"The Prime Minister was asked publicly if he was aware of any member of the Jamaica Labour Party that was under investigation for illicit enrichment. His answer was that he asked far and wide and nobody indicated so. What we found out yesterday in the report is that from May 2023, he was written to formally by the Integrity Commission to indicate that he was under investigation for illicit enrichment," he outlined.
"Further, from the chronology of events, he has been in touch, his lawyers have been in touch with the Integrity Commission in relation to the said investigation. So when he says to the public, he has asked far and wide, and he doesn't know, he misled the public. So the question I have, what can I believe the Prime Minister on tomorrow, the next day or next week? I can't take his word," argued Mr. Robinson.
