Digicel to probe how talk show host came to possess bill of ex-public official in Grenada

Telecoms firm Digicel which has an arrangement with the Government in Grenada to service its telecommunications needs, on Wednesday announced plans for an internal investigation into how the bill of a former public official came into the possession of a radio talk show host.
 
In a statement, Digicel said it's aware of allegations being made by the radio personality with regard to its handling of customer information.
 
It has promised to update the public on the investigations.
 
Last week, an opposition political activist and talk show host told radio listeners he was in possession of documents proving that the government had paid the telephone bills for former public officers, including two former legislators.
 
The Integrity Commission has hinted at the possibility of conducting a probe into allegations that some former legislators were still using government funded mobile phones after reports surfaced of a $70,000 bill.
 
Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell said he was embarrassed to learn of  the situation and accepted the fact that former parliamentarians who government had assigned telephone numbers have been using the phones without making the necessary transfer for invoice payment to their names.
