More than one week after Prime Minister Andrew Holness released his filing for the past 10 years to the Integrity Commission, the People's National Party (PNP) has hinted that its president Opposition Leader Portia Simpson Miller, could soon do the same.

In a release last Friday, the PNP said Simpson Miller will use Parliament this week to table a statement "which will speak specifically and decisively to integrity issues and her own report to the Integrity Commission."

Simpson Miller has been facing increasing loud calls for the release of her financial information after Holness allowed journalists from three media houses to view and report on his information.

Holness has also pledged to introduce legislation to compel the prime minister, opposition leader, finance minister, and oppositions spokesman on finance to make public their financial information.
