The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has ruled that no charges should be laid against former Agriculture Minister Floyd Green for alleged breaches of the Disaster Risk Management Act in September last year.

She has also ruled that no charges should be laid against the other partygoers including his advisor, Gabrielle Hylton; Councillor Andrew Bellamy and Dave Powell, an employee of the National Solid Waste Management Authority.

The ruling was handed down on Friday following months of deliberations by the country's Chief Prosecutor, Paula Llewellyn.

Head of Crime, Deputy Commissioner Fitz Bailey said that the DPP ruled that based on the evidence gathered in the investigation, there is no legal basis to lay charges against Mr Green and the other persons.

CTOC had written to the Director late last year for a legal opinion on whether Mr Green violated the Disaster Risk Management Act by attending a party at a New Kingston based hotel on a no movement day last year.

Mr Green resigned his post following public uproar over a video which showed persons at the party mocking the no movement day, introduced by the government to curtail the spread of the coronavirus.

Mr Green, who has apologised for his actions, was recently reappointed to the Cabinet by Prime Minister Andrew Holness as Minister Without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister.
