Several staff members from the One Laptop Per Family who were “implicated” in the disappearance of more than a hundred laptops, will have to undergo a “polygraph” test to determine who had knowledge about the missing items.
The announcement was made yesterday by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, at his weekly press briefing at the Office of the President. According to Dr. Luncheon, the staff members who are implicated in the scandal were notified about government’s intention of conducting the “integrity testing”.
He told the media that they had used the conventional method, but were unable to ascertain who were culpable. He said that Government believes that the polygraph test would assist in locating the persons responsible. Luncheon further noted that the examination would be done before year end.
Some six staffers were sent home back in August after the laptops disappeared. The police were called in, but no arrests were made. 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.
