President of the People’s National Party (PNP) Mark Golding has ripped into the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), describing the governing party as corrupt and demanding that the Holness-led administration publicly state which parliamentarians are under probe for illicit enrichment by the Integrity Commission.

According to Golding, who is also the Opposition leader, “corruption is rampant, at the highest levels”.

He was speaking Sunday during the public session of the 86th annual conference of the PNP at the National Arena in Kingston.

Golding repeated sections of his Budget speech in March which was shut down after he made statements deemed controversial by Government Members of Parliament (MPs) and was forced to finish his speech on the sidewalk outside Gordon House.

“You will remember during my budget presentation when they tried to prevent me from saying some critical things about governance, even shutting down the sitting of Parliament. I went on the street and said what I had to say, and I will say it here again:

“…The failure to disclose the identity of the so-called ‘illicit six’ MPs who are under investigation by the Integrity Commission for illicit enrichment remains a festering sore, only made worse by the Prime Minister’s gag order on Cabinet Ministers speaking publicly on these matters,” he repeated Sunday.

Golding noted that since that time, the Integrity Commission has indicated that two more MPs are under investigation for illicit enrichment.

The PNP president repeated the quote, this time stating that it was the “illicit eight” and added that “Comrades, I had to hurry up and say it the second time, because by the time we finish here today it could become 12, the way how the number of Labourite ‘illicits’ a multiply like gremlins!

“And now we have another Integrity Commission report on the prime minister, sent to Parliament but still not tabled for the public to see, with little bits of it being selectively leaked to JLP-allied media houses”.

Golding said a future PNP administration “will change the law so that all Integrity Commission reports must be published on Parliament’s website within 24 hours being sent to Parliament, and all Jamaicans can read the reports.”

Declaring that “time come to change these things” and that accountability and transparency matter, Golding promised that a future PNP Government would create an environment in which all Jamaicans can thrive and achieve their version of the Jamaican dream.

Several reports from the Integrity Commission are expected to be tabled in Parliament on Tuesday.
