The trial of former PPP/C minister Dr Jennifer Westford and her former aide Margaret Cummings, who are charged with the alleged theft of over $600 million from the government, continued yesterday with further testimony from detective Richard Frank, who recounted a confrontation that was held between Cummings and Joe Harold Williams, the Office of the President accountant, over signed payment vouchers and monies.
Frank, Detective Inspector of Police attached to the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), continued his testimony yesterday after it was halted on Monday because of objections by Westford’s attorney, Senior Counsel Neil Boston, who said he was not served with the witness’ statements on 14 memorandums.
