‘SENSITIVE’ MATERIAL
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has expressed concerns that handing over her electronic devices to the police investigators may jeopardise national security and has since directed that the investigation only take place in her presence.
In a letter to lead investigator, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mervyn Richardson, dated June 10, Persad-Bissessar said in her capacity as chairman of the National Security Council there was “sensitive” information on her computer systems and she was advised by her attorney, Israel Khan SC, that they and her in-house information technology (IT) expert should all be present during the police investigation.
“There is sensitive data on the said electronic devices concerning the safety and security of the State and other matters of a confidential nature,” the Prime Minister said.
