Ministry Denies Allegations of Pension Fraud Probe
The Ministry takes note of the recent publication by the Jamaica Observer titled “Pension Fraud Probe”.
The Ministry of Labour and Social Security states categorically that there is no fraud probe being conducted by its Internal Auditors into the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) at this time. The Ministry has not received any reports of fraudulent activity relating to the Postmaster General (PMG) paying out more money than was disbursed to them by the NIS.
However, the Ministry takes note of the article and considers these allegations serious. As such we are inviting external independent authorities to examine the allegations to ensure full transparency and accountability.
The Ministry is assuring the public that it takes the management of public resources seriously, and that it continues to implement strategies to ensure the efficient and effective performance of our systems.
