A team of work­ers has been as­signed to make the nec­es­sary cor­rec­tions to the of­fi­cial Web site for the 50th an­niver­sary of in­de­pen­dence cel­e­bra­tions. The Web site was shut down last Tues­day af­ter the T&T Guardian point­ed out nu­mer­ous mis­takes, which in­clud­ed fac­tu­al, spelling and gram­mat­i­cal er­rors.

The Min­istry of Plan­ning and Sus­tain­able De­vel­op­ment is re­spon­si­ble for pro­duc­ing the site. Di­rec­tor of cor­po­rate com­mu­ni­ca­tions Kendal Fontenelle told the T&T Guardian in a tele­phone in­ter­view yes­ter­day that the site had been bro­ken up in­to dif­fer­ent sec­tions and each one was be­ing dealt with by var­i­ous mem­bers of the team the min­istry had as­sem­bled.

He had said last Tues­day that the site should be back up with­in 48 hours, but yes­ter­day he said he did not want to give a def­i­nite date. He de­clined to give names of any­one work­ing on the site, but con­firmed there was a his­to­ri­an on the team.
