The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has assigned State Prosecutor Teshana Lake to lead the prosecution in the trial of former PPP/C minister Dr Jennifer Westford and her former aide Margaret Cummings for the alleged theft of over $600 million from the government.
The appointment was announced yesterday by police prosecutor Vishnu Hunt, who has had the responsibilities for the case since the partial commencement of the trial in July.
Hunt told the court that the DPP had assigned Lake to further prosecute the matter, while he would be providing assistance.
