Missing OLPF laptops…Investigations continuing – Dr. Luncheon

Aug 30, 2012 News

 

Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon has disclosed that government has held a number of meetings with Project Manager of the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) programme Margo Boyce, to receive updates regarding the “theft” of over 100 laptops.
Last week, Luncheon disclosed that laptops bought under the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) project had been stolen from the project’s Queenstown, Georgetown office, and the Criminal Investigations Department of the Police had been called in.
Yesterday Luncheon told the media that they have gotten updates from the police. He explained that they were advised that the police investigations are continuing.  According to Luncheon, he expects that a formal comprehensive report will be submitted.  He noted that investigators have understandably declined to provide day by day reports on their work as “they have insisted that on completion of the investigation everything will be known”.
The OLPF programme is facilitating the distribution of 90,000 computers to poor families.
Margo Boyce, who has been associated with the OLPF and has been working from the Office of the President, was appointed as Project Manager three Wednesdays ago. Her appointment came five months after “tensions” forced out Sesh Sukhdeo, who had a similar contract at the Office of the President.
