The Rodney COI will require a nonpartisan approach

Feb 06, 2014 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
The General Secretary of the PPP Mr. Clement Rohee is reported to have urged the government, of which he is a member, to “move expeditiously to establish the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry.” (Kaieteur News, January 7th, 2014).
I support Mr. Rohee’s call. After all it was in 2005 that the National Assembly adopted a motion on the need for such an inquiry and since then there have been calls publicly for one to be launched. Will this be done soon as expected?
However, given the charged (some might say toxic) political environment which unfortunately is our current lot, it is most desirable that those whose responsibility it is for making the inquiry a reality are circumspect and open with respect to the process of implementation and the conduct of the inquiry.
They should so comport themselves that there can be no suspicion that the inquiry is being used to serve partisan rather than national interests. Any such contamination of the inquiry would impair one of its potential benefits. This is its role as “part of a healing process” which Mr. Rohee asserts the PPP believes.
