The Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) is insisting that the Integrity Commission, without breaking the law, can provide the country with some information on its corruption investigations.
PSOJ President Howard Mitchell said, in addition to that, the country needs to know whether the Commission is functioning at full strength and what are its objectives.
Addressing a Rotary Club of New Kingston meeting Friday morning, Mr. Mitchell said the Integrity Commission Act is in line with the existing political strategy to keep Jamaicans in the dark because it specifically prohibits the Commission from speaking on its investigations before tabling a report in Parliament.
"But the least that they could do is assure us that they are working on something and that we will have a report by some time, because it's our business," he demanded.
He was reacting to a statement issued by the Integrity Commission last week Wednesday in which it declared it will not break the law to satisfy persons calling for progress reports on its various corruption investigations.
It would only say that a number of its investigations are nearing completion.
There have been recent calls for updates in relation to probes into entities under the former technology, science and energy ministry as well as the sale of the Rooms on the Beach property in Ocho Rios, St. Ann.
