KINGSTON, Jamaica — The People’s National Party (PNP) is expressing deep concern over what it describes as the continued leaking of Integrity Commission (IC) reports to a specific media house before they are officially tabled in Parliament, describing the situation as a serious breach of the law and a threat to good governance.

In a statement on Tuesday, the PNP pointed to an alleged pattern of IC reports appearing on Nationwide News Network (NNN) prior to their formal tabling, which is required under the Integrity Commission Act. The law mandates that such reports be first submitted to Parliament and officially tabled before they are made public.

The party warned that the recurring leaks undermine Parliament’s authority, erode public trust in the process and signal a possible breakdown in the official chain of custody.

“This is not merely a procedural but it strikes at the heart of good governance and the rule of law,” the PNP said, adding that the existing process is designed to ensure transparency, fairness and accountability, not to allow for selective or premature disclosures that could distort public understanding or prejudice individuals and institutions.

PNP Spokesperson on Justice, Zuleika Jess, stressed the need to protect the Integrity Commission’s work from any perception of political interference or manipulation.

“These recurring leaks before Parliamentary tabling represent a breach of lawful process and a threat to institutional integrity. Parliament’s role as the guardian of accountability must be respected, and the law must be applied evenly and consistently,” Jess said.

PNP Spokesperson on Information, Nekeisha Burchell, also voiced concern, highlighting that the leaks have consistently involved the same media house.

“It is deeply troubling that official information intended for Parliament’s consideration continues to appear in the media before it is properly tabled, and even more concerning that it is consistently the same media house. This recurring breach undermines not only confidence in our governance structures but also the credibility of the information ecosystem that underpins democracy,” she said.

The PNP is calling for an immediate and transparent investigation to identify the source of the leaks and to restore public confidence in the handling of Integrity Commission reports. The party reaffirmed its commitment to accountability, due process and respect for the laws that underpin Jamaica’s democracy.
