Jason Kenney and Jeff Callaway have denied claims that Callaway was a ‘kamikaze’ candidate who would attack Jean, leaving Kenney free to take the high road
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is demanding Opposition Leader Jason Kenney “come clean” with voters on a spreading controversy involving one of his leadership rivals.
“I suspect he would say the allegations are serious and that someone being investigated by the RCMP on serious and documented allegations of fraud should not be premier.The RCMP does not comment or confirm ongoing investigations. Elections commissioner Lorne Gibson had been investigating allegations that some donors to Callaway’s campaign broke the law by donating money provided to them by someone else.
“This is what I was afraid of. I wrote long detailed emails about this mess to Jason Kenney in December, and Jason Kenney and the UCP board in February,” Jean wrote on Facebook. “I asked our staff to talk to everybody that had been on my leadership campaign staff to see if they had any information or knowledge about inappropriate donations,” he said.
