It\u2019s a matter for the police is how National Festival Minister Paul Chet Greene has responded to calls for the cabinet to step in and curb extreme nudity at carnival.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Minister today responded to social media outrage over the manner of dress and conduct of revelers by indicating that laws already exist to deal with such cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeave these things to the relevant authorities, the police,\u201d Green told an Observer Radio interview.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The minister admitted he saw the images but insists that \u201cthe police more than me and you, are aware of how the law works, and they know what right they have with respect to the prosecution of that kind of conduct.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWhen persons are found in that kind of nude setting, just simply go through the book, and you have the electronic act so that the images are sufficient to persecute a person for that kind of conduct,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In one instance, a video was posted online with a man plunging his head into the mid-section of a woman.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Another video showed a woman wearing practically nothing gyrating for the camera.<\/p>\n

Greene said while the church has made a call for stricter laws, they must also acknowledge that some of the individuals are themselves members of churches.<\/p>
