Ms. Margaret Cummings was not only employed as a Chief Personnel Officer during Dr. Jennifer Westford’s tenure as Minister of Public Service. Cummings also performed duties as the Confidential Secretary to the former Minister and Acting Administrative Officer.

This is according to Andre Albert Dazzell, a Chief Accountant at the Ministry of the Presidency attached to the Department of Public Service. Dazzell testified Wednesday before Magistrate Judy Latchman when the trial of Dr. Westford and Ms. Cummings commenced in relation to the misappropriation of over $600M from the State.
