In its efforts to safeguard the ICT assets of the state, the National Data Management Authority (NDMA) today warned that individuals involved in the accidental or deliberate damage of state-owned ICT infrastructure will be held responsible for the full cost of replacement and repairs.
The Authority in a release said it has noted a rise in vehicular accidents resulting in significant damage to poles and ICT equipment used as part of the Safe Country Project. Over the past four months, multiple Safe Country Systems have suffered damage in Regions 3 and 4. Investigations conducted by the Guyana Police Force have led to the identification of the individuals responsible, it said.
These individuals will now face charges as prescribed by the Laws of Guyana. In addition, the individuals who accidentally or intentionally damage these assets will be obligated to stand the costs for their repair or replacement.
