Louisiana oversight review cites Divine Kingdom Ministries referral and director’s theft charges
A Louisiana review of state appropriations to nongovernmental organizations reported that Treasury advanced $37,500 to Divine Kingdom Ministries against a $75,000 appropriation. A cost-report review prompted a referral to the inspector general, and an investigation conducted with the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation led to director Jazmine King’s September 22 arrest on felony theft and false-public-records charges. The charges remain allegations.
