Minutes after presenting a court with photocopies of his qualifications yesterday, Leslie Veerasammy, Managing Partner of Nizam Ali & Company, was told by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan that he would be allowed to testify as a defence witness but would not be deemed an expert.
Veerasammy appeared as a witness for the defence in the trial of Peter Ramcharran, who is accused of five counts of falsification of an account.
The charges allege that Ramcharran, while being the accountant of the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB), omitted to enter a total in excess of $414 million in the GRDB ledger.
