KINGSTON, Jamaica — Cabinet Minister Dr Andrew Wheatley is rejecting as “patently false, inaccurate and grossly misleading” a claim by the Integrity Commission (IC) that there was a $164 million disproportionality in his assets versus his lawful earnings over a nine year period. Wheatley, the minister without portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister responsible for science, technology and special projects, in his defence has cited $168 million in rental income which he says has been ignored. “I strongly and categorically reject as patently false, grossly misleading and inaccurate the allegations by the Director of Investigations,” Wheatley said in a statement to the media following the tabling in Parliament of the IC report, which included the allegations, on Wednesday, “I intend to read the report in full but from a cursory review subsequent to its tabling this afternoon, I must indicate that it is odd, unreasonable and unfair that in arriving at his conclusion, the Director of Investigations clearly decided not to take into account approximately 168-million in rental income which I lawfully accumulated and declared over the nine years,” added Wheatley, who is also the Member of Parliament for St Catherine South Central.
