Laptops, ahoy!

So Madam Prime Minister you are back from New York (again) and the 17000 plus HP laptops are also here.... at the whopping cost of $83 million TT almost $5,000 per unit or say around US$900,
I don't know if the cost of all these contracted companies is included in the $83 mil. I understand that the IT companies will be visiting schools to take the computers and do several other things with them. My concern, however, Prime Minister is what will become of these laptops. How many older students will tap up the little ones to get the use of the unit. How many older brothers will sell the laptop? How many will borrow it to go watch a movie with his girl friend?
I can imagine them cheering for you "Kamla, Kamla" while Vin Diesel is being "Fast and Furious" and I am being conservative, Madam Prime Minister.The maxi taxi driver might need a laptop too.
I can go on and on Prime Minister but I know I run the risk of being told that children in middle income families have their personal laptops and there is no reason why children from lower income families should also be able to use one.
The truth Madam Prime Minister is that those people buy their own laptops and upgrade them or replace them frequently, because they can do whatever they want with their money.
Madam Prime Minister, if that is how you are going to measure your successes, then something is wrong.
Your first step should have been to make sure every school has a proper computer lab with full time staff and let ALL students have access to computers. But the money is there so let us spend it and next year we will spend another $100,000,000 or so. And you are delivering on promises to the electorate. Right?
