Floyd Green is back in the Cabinet led by Prime Minister Andrew Holness, just over four months after he was forced to resign as Agriculture Minister.

In a cabinet reshuffle announced yesterday, Holness appointed Green as a Minister without a portfolio.

Back in September 2021, Green resigned after a controversial video showed him flouting Covid-19 regulations, attending a birthday party on one of Jamaica’s no-movement days.

In his then resignation letter to PM Holness, Green said: “I have disappointed so many, my family, including my son, my prime minister and most importantly, the people of Jamaica who I have sworn to serve. It was wrong.”

“No matter how briefly, and regardless of the circumstances, I should never have participated in any engagement that could indicate a lack of appreciation of the difficult and serious realities that now face the entire country,” he continued.
