Prime Minister Andrew Holness has instructed his attorneys to initiate legal action against senior members of the People's National Party, over comments about when he became aware of the Integrity Commission's probe into his finances.
A statement from the Prime Minister's camp, described the statements made during a press conference earlier on Thursday, as defamatory and false.
Senator Abka Fitz-Henley, a member of the Jamaica Labour Party's Communication Task Force, confirmed the instructions issued to the Prime Minister's legal team.
"The fact of the matter is the Prime Minister spoke the truth when he indicated to the media on August 17 last year that he was not aware of any member of the Jamaica Labour Party being written to by the Integrity Commission that they are under investigation for illicit enrichment."
He added that the Prime Minister and JLP leader "takes his reputation very seriously and will not allow members of the PNP to attempt to use false and malicious statements to malign his character in their desperate bid for political power".
In a letter seen by Radio Jamaica News from Henlin Gibson Henlin, the law firm representing Mr. Holness, the attorneys stated that none of the correspondence from the Integrity Commission to the Prime Minister and the firm referenced the words illicit enrichment.
