Will the Rodney COI be on live TV and the Internet?
DEAR EDITOR,
Will the Rodney Commission of Inquiry (RCOI) be televised and video streamed live on the internet for worldwide viewers? Not all Guyanese will be travelling to the city, but country folks would sure like to witness the event.
The Rodney Commission of Inquiry (RCOI) is slated to begin hearings next week on 28th, 29th, 30th April, 2014 and 2nd May, 2014, according to GINA. Many issues ought to be urgently resolved and shared with Guyanese. “‘What touches us ourself shall be last served’”(Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar) cannot be acceptable anymore.
The RCOI should subcontract for its own public relations needs, as budget cuts affecting GINA have drastically affected their verve and performance. It has rendered them handicapped to handle such an unprecedented inquiry. The court setting is somber and dignified as it should be, but it is no Maginot line to overcome. The venue must be on 24/7 security lockdown to guard against telephone threats becoming disruptive. In case of technical problems, backup equipment for TV and Skype should be in place for those giving evidence.
All’s too quiet on the southern front. Without a doubt mischief is afoot. Who is in charge of what should be clarified for the public. Which ministry is tasked to ensure all is working like clockwork? Which dates are Mrs. Patricia Rodney and Mr. Eusi Kwayana slated to give evidence? Inquiring minds want to know.
Somehow other issues, legalities, etc., as they should, have absorbed the secretariat’s attention, which does not project their efforts or the public’s right to know.
Just having finished reading the 1964 Wismar Massacre Report for the first time, the actual report suffers tremendously. The format, typing and proofreading errors are most deplorable. I hope this is not to be repeated with the RCOI. The inquiry is being held in the Supreme Court Library Building, Victoria Law Courts, Avenue of the Republic and Charlotte Street, Georgetown, and Demerara.
