Jamaica IC finds PNP councillor Ian Bell breached conflict-of-interest rules; party accepts

Jamaica's Integrity Commission found PNP councillor Ian Bell breached conflict-of-interest standards by attending committee meetings that considered his wife's business application for the Ocho Rios Transportation Centre. The PNP has accepted the findings, marking a rare admission in a local governance ethics case. The matter is a domestic political-ethics issue with no direct market impact.
