Tonight, the Prime Minister is the one under scrutiny after SmartStream leaks emerged showing his younger brother and girlfriend receiving a quarter-million dollars in payments from the Ministry of Defence.
It's the latest in a string of leaks that has rocked the Briceno Administration and forced two Ministers to take leave from Cabinet.
And tonight, it's the PM's turn to answer. We'll have that for you shortly, but first, Jules Vasquez looks at the SmartStream leaks:
Between Nov 13, 2023 to July 31, 2025, 225,454,90 - just about a quarter million dollars was paid to Addy Del Carmen Ku of 61a Victoria Ave.
She is connected to the Prime Minister through her partner, Javier Briceno.
They are only 30 invoices with her name in the Smart Stream system and 28 of them are below the $10,000 threshold
Her boyfriend Javier Briceno shares the same address in the Smart Stream files. He is the Prime Minister's younger brother. He also received three payments in his name in August of 2025.
The CEO in the Ministry of Defence told us he is not familiar with Addy Ku even though a third of the payments to her and the payments to Javier Briceno did happen during his tenure, which started in mid March 2025.
