President Donald Ramotar has defended his son’s involvement in the E-Governance project, yesterday, saying he’s not uncomfortable at all.There have been criticisms that Alexei Ramotar, the oldest son of the President, was not performing. A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) has tabled a number of questions to Prime Minister Sam Hinds in the National Assembly questioning the delays of the project, including details of Ramotar’s salary.During a press conference at his office,Wholesale China Jerseys, yesterday, President Ramotar said that his son was appointed to the position before he became President. “I am very comfortable with his qualifications as well.”As head of the two E-Governance projects, the younger Ramotar has a Masters degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, the President said. “I think he is eminently qualified for the job.”During a recent interview carried in the state-owned newspaper Guyana Chronicle, Alexei Ramotar explained that there are two distinct Information Communication Technology (ICT) projects currently being undertaken by government.Firstly, there is an E-Government project which aims to provide the necessary ICT infrastructure for Government to improve efficiency between Government offices and the public. This project is a joint venture between the governments of Guyana and China to a tune of US$32M.The second project is called the DMDW Project which involved the running of a fibre optic cable from Lethem to Georgetown. This project is fully funded by the Government of Guyana to a tune of US$5M. Ramotar insisted that in terms of his responsibilities,China Jerseys, he is responsible for the designing of the project, implementation and scheduling.The Project Manager pointed out that the misunderstanding by APNU of what each project entails has led the coalition party to call his competency into question.“The E-Government Project is actually a very large project…and is covering the entire coast of Guyana, and heavily populated areas,” explained Mr. Ramotar. “It requires seven different technologies to implement– not a single technology, while the DWDM project is a relatively simpler project.”The E-Government Project had an initial end date of April 2014; this has been pushed back to August to facilitate testing of the network before it becomes fully operational.E-Governance testing site at Castellani House, Vlissengen Road, Georgetown.“We expect all the parts to be finished by April 2014; we are on track for that,” Mr. Ramotar explained. “The April to August period is where we will be doing a lot of testing, and optimization of the network and so forth. These are very standard things that happen in telecoms.”The Project Manager contended that the delay is due to several factors which arose out of the need to update the initial technology for the project.“That delay was for the better, because we have more, better technology- 4G is a better technology; and a larger part of the population can have access to it,” Ramotar explained.He said that government had to renegotiate with Huawei,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, the ICT project provider, for the change in technology. Government also had to engage in additional site tests.He further explained that the savings derived from the change in technology by Huawei allowed for government to include 24 additional network sites while still staying within budget.The DWDM Project, which was subcontracted to local contractors, however,Cheap China Jerseys, encountered a number of delays primarily due to the improper handling and installation of the fibre cables. Additional delays resulted from road wash away, the building of the new 4-lane road on the EBD and vandalism.“We asked the consultant from Venezuela to come to Guyana to go through everything,” explained the Project Manager. Having examined the telecom design of the DWDM project,Wholesale China Jerseys, the consultant confirmed that it is proper and sufficient and has been recommended in a preliminary report that the methodology of the installation of the fiber needs to be changed. The final report is expected soon.Ramotar also used a television interview to address concerns about his qualifications. He explained that he has over a decade of work experience in network engineering, a degree in Computer Science from the University of Guyana and a Master’s in Mathematics from the University of Waterloo, Canada.“I have experience in telecommunications in terms of how the systems operate, value services and so forth,Cheap NFL Jerseys,” explained the Project Manager, “So I have a pretty broad experience in not only implementing, but also for designing networks, both for telecoms and wide area networks.”Mr. Ramotar noted that with his qualifications and his training, he opted to return to Guyana to serve, given the possibilities for ICT in the development of youth.
