Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle has announced that his party, the United Progressive Party (UPP), is contemplating the use of a writ of mandamus to compel the government to adhere to financial disclosure laws. Pringle accused Prime Minister Gaston Browne of withholding crucial financial reports from Parliament, thereby undermining transparency and accountability. Speaking at a UPP town hall meeting, Pringle highlighted the 2006 Finance Administration Act, which mandates the Minister of Finance to submit detailed investment reports and related agreements to Parliament. He pointed out that these reports, including those concerning the government’s Jolly Beach investment and Social Security financials, have not been made available to the public. Pringle criticized the Prime Minister for allegedly blocking access to audit opinions that were unfavorable, describing the move as unlawful. The writ of mandamus, a court order requiring a public official to perform a legal duty, is one of several legal avenues the UPP is exploring to ensure compliance. Pringle emphasized the importance of public pressure in holding the government accountable, regardless of the court’s decision. He framed this legal action as part of a broader effort to restore confidence in public financial management and strengthen accountability.
