Lindo Creek families still waiting to hear CoI report

Dec 08, 2019 Letters

Dear Editor,

During the latter part of President David Granger’s one-on-one interview with Stan Gouveia on Thursday, he made a statement in relation to the Commission of Inquiries (CoIs) of the deaths and massacres during the 2002-2008 period, when over 400 citizens were killed.
You implicitly stated that nearly all of the CoIs could not have been completed because of a lack of evidence and witnesses not coming forward to testify.
In the case of the Lindo Creek CoI, which was completed over a year ago, this was not the case.
We are confident that a successful CoI was completed and the report and recommendations were submitted to your office.
About four months ago, a meeting was hurriedly convened by the Attorney General to address the recommendations of the CoI.
This was a complete sham and a waste of time and a full blown insult to all the relatives present at the meeting.
We were so embarrassed when no one knew of any or had seen a published report of the CoI but was asked to comment on same.
For the past three months, Mr. President, efforts were made to your office to have an audience with you but there was and still is a royal runaround to effect same.
Now that you have made a public statement, I think we can have a happy Christmas by you ensuring that a copy of the CoI report is made public to us.
Yours respectfully
Families of the Lindo Creek Victims
