The Constitution Parliamentary Select Committee (Copac) co-chairperson Cde Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana yesterday briefed the Politburo that some of the data collected by Copac from the citizens had gone missing.
Most of the missing documents were questions and answers posed to the people on the land issue.
According to a report by The Zimbabwe Guardian (Posted: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 1:03 am): "Copac Spokesperson, Jesse Madzome said the Committee had been able to upload the data into the giant server and through the support of government and donors the uploading process has been successfully completed."
Cde Mangwana said uploading of data gathered during the outreach had gone very well until they discovered that "the server had omitted all information on the land, natural resources and the environment".
"It could have been just a technical error in the wrong place.
"The server is designed in such a manner that when you put in some data, you cannot edit it.
"I suspect that a person with mischief may not have been happy with responses on the land issue. Someone wanted to tamper with the information banking on the probability that we were not going to cross-check," Cde Mangwana said.
"The United Nations Development Programme has secured an expert from the suppliers of the technology (Hewlett-Packard) and he is expected in the country between now and Tuesday next week," he said.
