The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) issued a release a short while ago saying that the Prime Minister has accepted the resignation of Minister of State in the Ministry of Transport, Works and Housing Richard Azan.
However, minutes after issuing the statement, the OPM issued a recall on the information. It did not state the reason for the recall.
According to the OPM in a letter submitted to Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller Friday, Azan said, “I wish to assure you and the Cabinet, that I have received no money, favours or personal benefit, financial or otherwise from the erection or rental of the shops by Bryant Construction.”
The letter also said his legal team recommended that he challenge the report tabled by the Contractor General.
