President of the National Water Commission (NWC) Mark Barnett, and his wife Annette Francis-Barnett, will not be prosecuted, in connection with allegations that they breached an environmental permit – an offence under the Natural Resources Conservation Authority Act NRCA.
This following a ruling by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution ODPP yesterday.
Mr. Barnett, who has been the NWC Head since 2015, was placed on administrative leave last October, following allegations of irregularities in the approval processes, which led to the construction of a residential development, in Charlemont Drive, Kingston 6.
