Ten individuals were paid by the National Communications Network (NCN) to anonymously attack government critics and promote the PPP/C through social media as part of a politically directed unit operating out of the Office of the President (OP).

Three of them are related to senior PPP members. According to records seen by this publication, Renata Rohee, a daughter of the General Secretary of the PPP/C Clement Rohee, was paid along with eight others, the sum of $22,000 every fortnight for a job specified as “monitor and works processor”. They were on the state-funded NCN payroll but worked out of OP. Also on the payroll were Dikisha Cumberbatch, the sister-in-law of former Office of the President Press and Publicity Officer Kwame McCoy, and Javed Mustapha, a family member of Zulfikar Mustapha, Executive Secretary of the PPP/C.

Other persons listed as having contracts up to as recently as March 31, 2015 are Carl Howes, Dana King, Orland Smith, Dellon La Rose Carlyle Softly, and Nayland Walker (monitor operator/video specialist) . Waheeda Saheed earned $60k per month with gratuities as a media monitor.

McCoy, under the watch of then Head of the Press and Publicity Unit at the Office of the President, Prem Misir had established the New Media Unit around 2008 to monitor and respond to the rise in online criticisms of the PPP, particularly on such fora as the Guyana Message Board and from sites such as LivingGuyana. Among those involved was Bassu Dwarka the current Protocol Officer to the President at Office of the President who was an administrator for the slander site LiveinGuyana.

Get serious. This is news? This has been going on ALL OVER THE WORLD since the internet blogging started. That means the PNC/APNU/AFC/whoever also do it. Get serious. 

ok klown, remind us again which line item in the Guyana Budget covered PNC/APNU/AFC paid posters "blogging" on GNI and other social media

take your time arsehole . . . no rush

Franky, who was paying these Phantom Bloggers?

You are a fool if you think this does not happen all the time.

Javed Mustapha... [and Jagdeo's sidekick Zulfikar] more animosity for the Mustapha family at Whim.   

From dislike to hate. They better leave Guyana, because Berbice grieving families  might never forgive them.

These people were being paid with taxpayer money to specifically promote PPP propaganda. Some right here on GNI. Don't you see anything wrong with this?

The Coalition will not do such things.  We will run a clean operation as the 49+% PPP will be watching us closely.

How do you use Govt money for such propaganda purposes?

So Mars is asking the right question.

Zed, during the election campaign the coalition's bloggers were mainly volunteers. Those who were paid party functionaries didn't use taxpayers' dollars to blog. There is solid evidence that the state-owned NCN was paying salaries to named bloggers operating in the Office of the President.

I won't put my head on a block to say that this coalition government won't do the same thing. If and when that happens, and there is supporting evidence, it will be wrong and should be deplored.

Rev Al and Councie had to be people who were either long standing members of the PPP party or connected to long standing members of the PPP party.

My guy inside Freedom House got me the identity of Yugi and he felt both Rev Al and Councie had connections to the upper ranks of the party in some ways. 

For the most part these blogger people were just doing their jobs for wages or job positions with the PPP party.  Some of them like Gerhard I have known when they were babies.  Let us not push the issue but forgive them. 

Take Rev out of that, Wally. Rev has no connection whatever with Freedom House. Rev wrote more than twice here that he would never associate with those corrupt Freedom House scoundrels. He supported the PPP simply to prevent the Cuffy-loving PNC from getting into government. Rev is smart to recognize reality, that's why he quickly extended congratulations to the coalition. If Rev were a follower of Ramotar-Rohee-Jagdeo, he would have been fastened to their ungraciousness up to now.

Gil I never said that he was connected to Ramotar-Rohee-Jagdeo or Freedom house.  My guy said he thinks Rev was connected to the upper ranks of the party in some ways.  Which he could not determine.

Alright, take it from me. Rev is not connected to anyone at Freedom House. Now, don't ask me how I know.
