The CoI needs to work chronologically
Dear Editor
By now many Guyanese would be aware that there was a Counterforce in operation to stem the violent crime wave unleashed on the Guyanese Nation during the period 2002 to 2009.
Who exactly were these Counterforces? Were they vigilantes? Were they criminals who were fighting a turf war? Were they police officers/army people?
Let us be clear, the extrajudicial killing that occurred were illegal even if it was an attempt to rid Guyana of notorious criminals who had taken up arms against The State to unseat the democratically elected PPP/C Government.
While I have my reservation about the planned CoI (in that they are being used to continue to play The Blame Game and The Who Pon Top Game) hopefully the Commissions of Inquiry (CoI) will finally provide some answers as to what was going on.
Saying that, the CoI needs to work chronologically so that we all come to an understanding as to what was going on at the time in question. You need to start at the beginning, not at the end.
