[www.inewsguyana.com] – iNews has been reliably informed that the police are now in possession of two more vouchers that were used by former People’s Progressive Party Minister, Jennifer Westford.
According to information received, the vouchers now take the total amount of money that was requested by the Minister to in excess of $600 million and were issued to her by officials from the then Office of the President.
When contacted by iNews, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum would not confirm the total amount which is now the subject of the fraud investigation but confirmed that the police did receive two other vouchers this week from the Public Service Ministry.
Other police sources who have been communicating with iNews indicated that there are many persons within the ministry who are cooperating with the police and sharing information in relation to the ongoing investigation.
Westford has been fingered in the misappropriation of funds from the ministry that she once headed, under the guise that the funds were used to conduct a review of the services and programs of the Public Service.
However, employees there said there was no review conducted and the monies cannot be accounted for.
The initial figure that the police were investigating in relation to Westford’s fraud matter was $120 million but that soon jumped to more than $170 million. The figure then moved to more than $400 million and now stands at in excess of $600 million.
Westford was recently charged with four counts of attempted larceny, involving a vehicle scam during her tenure as Public Service Minister. She was placed on $800,000 bail.

this is the same minister who said that publis servants can live on 32,000 per month and with all that she was getting, she wasnt satisfied !!
My goodness, what went wrong with Jennifer Westford. She is out of her mind she should not even have a house or a job not even a car for the rest of her life.
Wow what a shame she is just like the grave never satisfy
COMEDY of the week,,staring JENNY!!!
Could you imagine this wickedness by the minister Westford! So many persons in Guyana can barely make ends meet, some cannot even afford a bicycle and this minister who claimed to have been serving the people have been actually serving her self to luxury by fraud in public office with public funds. Shame on you Jennifer Westford, shame on you! I pray that the Almighty who created Guyana look down on the people and continue to expose all the corrupt and heartless people who robbed and raped the country’s treasuey; because He is seeing everything and nothing is hidden from Him!
