After several postponements and rescheduling, the Public Service Commission's Tribunal is finally reviewing the case of Nasley Sommerville, the Administrator of the Southern Regional Hospital, who is accused by the Auditor General's Office of misappropriating over 366 thousand dollars in public funds.
Because these are closed-door hearings, details have been hard to come by, but what we do know is that Sommerville is now being represented by attorney Andrew Bennett. The tribunal is set to hear evidence from personnel within the audit team which conducted the initial inquiry at the Southern Regional's Maternal and Child Care Account in Dangriga. They will also hear evidence from personell within the hospital who may assist the adjudicators in determining how the money went missing.
We understand that Bennett asked for a bit more time to prepare, and so the tribunal reconvenes on Thursday.
