KINGSTON, Jamaica — The People's National Party Youth Organisation (PNPYO) is calling on Young Jamaica and the Jamaica Labour Party's Communications Taskforce to issue an immediate and public apology for the dissemination of what they say is a reckless, baseless, and malicious statement concerning Opposition Leader Mark Golding's 2024 statutory declaration. In a statement on Monday, the PNPYO referenced a June 4 statement from Young Jamaica, which called on Golding to give an account for his 2024 statutory declaration. The PNPYO, however, noted that the certification by the Integrity Commission of Opposition Leader Mark Golding's 2024 statutory declaration was published in the Jamaica Gazette on May 26, 2026, more than a week before Young Jamaica's press release was issued.

The Opposition People's National Party says the recent reacquisition of a controlling ownership interest in Paymaster by Cabinet Minister Audrey Marks raises legitimate questions regarding the management of potential conflicts of interest and the safeguards required to maintain public confidence in government decision-making. Marks holds responsibility for efficiency, innovation and digital transformation, a portfolio that directly shapes policy affecting Jamaica’s digital services, payments systems, and wider fintech ecosystem, the PNP said in a media release, adding that Paymaster operates within that same space, providing payment and digital transaction services across the economy. In addition, according to the PNP, Paymaster’s operations intersect with a broader digital and telecommunications environment in which regulated service providers interact with government policy and regulatory frameworks.
