Who purchased, owned Good Hope trio sophisticated equipment?

 

Dear Editor,

From media reports on the findings of the Presidential Commission on what has been called “The Gajraj Affair”, it appears that records of telephone conversations played a not insignificant part in assisting the Commissioners to reach some of their conclusions.

I recall that a cell phone allegedly used by Linden London a.k.a. Blackie, was found by a media operative at the scene of his death, and handed to the police. Did the police access Blackie's telephone records and thus ascertained his connections and associates in furtherance of their investigations of Blackie's crimes? If they did not do so, I believe they should do so now and make their findings public.

I wish to take this opportunity to raise another issue; and it relates to the Good Hope trio and some of the sophisticated equipment found at that time.

In March 2003, I raised the following questions: who purchased and who owned the computer and the software?

I also enquired whether it was a government agency and asked for its identity to be disclosed if indeed it was a government agency.

The response of Dr. Roger Luncheon, the Head of the Presidential Secretariat read in part as follows:- “...their matter is before the courts and convention prevents public discussions of the matters raised by Mr. Jackson.” - SN of 29* March, 2003.

The courts have since concluded consideration of the matter of the Good Hope Trio. Dr. Luncheon should therefore no longer be constrained by convention from providing answers to the above mentioned enquires and should accordingly be in a position to do so now.
