Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Julian Robinson, says JACDEN Limited has repaid duties linked to the misuse of tax exemptions at the University Hospital of the West Indies.

He revealed that the company, owned by PNP MP Dennis Gordon, repaid approximately $10 million identified by customs.

The issue stems from an audit that found multiple companies benefited from the hospital’s improper use of its tax exemption, contributing to losses of $23.1 million.

The matter is now under investigation by the Integrity Commission, police, and the Jamaica Customs Agency.
