STATEMENT FROM THE MINISTER OF FINANCE AND THE PUBLIC SERVICE
This statement is in response to a media story today.
The multi-billion Stocks and Securities Limited (“SSL”) fraud, which dates back to at least 2010, and which only came to light in January 2023, was a punch to the gut for all Jamaicans. The magnitude of the fraud, its duration and the fact that the victims included several elderly Jamaicans, as well a beloved icon, shocked the nation. I shared and still share those emotions.
