Text message probe leaves staff frustrated

Jun 24, 2008 News

As the Police continue their investigation into a text message purportedly sent from a Kaieteur News Internet Protocol (IP) address, two other ministers, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee and Human Services Minister Priya Manickchand, have declared that they received the same message at about the same time that Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud received his.
The message reads: (Fine Man Rawlins) dis a wan message fi u an yo president, me plans caz f..in misery in regent street pun Saturday.
The Police later declared that the message went to the recipients at 18:55 hours on Friday, and the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company identified the Internet Protocol (IP) as one  assigned to Kaieteur News.
Initial internal investigations revealed that there was no record of such a transaction as a text message on the server that was supposed to have sent the message to the ministers.
At the insistence of Managing Director Glenn Lall, one of the ministers forwarded the message to his telephone for his benefit since, at one stage, there was the suspicion that no message might have been sent.
The staff in the vicinity of the server are adamant that they never saw anyone at the server at that time on Friday, and the senior staff insist that the state of affairs in the Editorial Department at the time precluded anyone from taking time off even to chat on the Internet.
Yesterday, the Police continued their investigations into the text message by inviting Kaieteur News staff to CID headquarters.
