THE INTEGRITY Commission has submitted the names of several politicians to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Kent Pantry, after they failed to file their mandatory annual statutory declarations.
The commission also pointed to the "inadequacy" of a significant number of the declarations filed by parliamentarians.
According to the commission's listing of declarations which were outstanding as at December 31 2004, new Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Senator, Prudence Kidd-Deans, was reported to the DPP in January.
And Ernie Smith, Opposition MP for St. Ann South West, was reported in May
last year.
The commission, in its latest report, also stated that Kingston Mayor Desmond McKenzie and Glenville Shaw, former People's National Party (PNP) MP for St. Ann South West, were reported to the DPP in May and July 2004 respectively.
REPORTED A SECOND TIME
Mr. McKenzie was reported a second time in January this year.
Former PNP MP Francis Tulloch was also reported in November last year. The commission said it expects the DPP to take the necessary actions, as it was being impeded in executing its mandate.
"The failure to furnish information and/or financial statements requested, prevented the commission from satisfactorily concluding the examination of the related statutory declarations," the report said.
The commission examined 87 declarations in the year under review, and issued 58 queries for answers to properly examine declarations.
"The commission wishes again to record its concern at the high rate of incomplete declarations being furnished by parliamentarians, resulting in unnecessary correspondence and queries, and would wish to see that the declarations furnished are accurate and complete with all the required supporting documentation," the report stated.
