Government maintains publishing Jagdeo’s property is a security concern

 

Georgetown : Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon at his weekly post Cabinet briefing said the publishing of former President Bharrat Jagdeo’s riverside property is a security threat.

 “I think the members of the administration strongly feels it was an invasion of privacy and flowing from the invasion of privacy almost an invitation ill advised Guyanese to perhaps indeed use the information and the way in which the information was presented to launch… well first to have envy and to aspire to access, to gain, to obtain some sort of access to the facilities to engage in whatever nefarious plots” Luncheon explained.
 

Luncheon said the opposition’s continued interest in Jagdeo’s home is a cause for concern and the means through which it was acquired.

“I think that it is quite clear that it is general advertisement, not only to the public spelling out in great detail what is and what isn’t, but it could also be seen as an invitation to the mal-adjusted and to the criminally intent to use that information to perpetrate invasion of the privacy of the former president” he added.

Yesterday the Kaieteur News published an aerial view of the former President’s home and that draw criticisms from the Government and sections of civil society.

Today the same media house published the same photograph and made a comparison with an internet picture of one former United States of America  President’s home and a former United Kingdom Prime Minister’s home with a caption “Security Breach”
