Ramotar lashes out at Government for wrapping up Walter Rodney Commission - chairman - 07-28-2015 Former President Donald Ramotar is furious that the new government has decided to wrap up the work of the Commission of Inquiry which is looking into the 1980 death of Guyanese historian and politician, Dr. Walter Rodney. In a statement, Ramotar said history will show that it was the government under his watch that launched the inquiry but it was the APNU+AFC government that decided to end it. “I wish to reiterate that the decision to establish this Commission of Inquiry was not inspired by any political motive but purely by my desire to shed light on one of the darkest and most controversial event in Guyana’s post independent history and political landscape and to assist the family and relatives of Dr. Walter Rodney to bring closure on what clearly was one of the most traumatic incidents in their lives.” The Donald Ramotar administration had come under severe criticism for politicizing the work of the Commission and using statements made during the hearings for political mileage during the last elections. Still, the former President is convinced that the work of the Commission should have been allowed to continue. Mr. Ramotar said “I will be the first to admit that the Commission of Inquiry was an expensive undertaking but I maintain, a justifiable one. More importantly, all monies spent can be accounted for and were approved by the National Assembly except for a brief period when Parliament was prorogued and then dissolved.” Re: Ramotar lashes out at Government for wrapping up Walter Rodney Commission - ketchim - 07-28-2015 [quote author=The Chairman link=topic=99184.msg648503#msg648503 date=1438108785] to assist the family and relatives of Dr. Walter Rodney to bring closure on what clearly was one of the most traumatic incidents in their lives.” [/quote] Lookit here : I feel it each and everytime Walter name comes up : I juss loved that chap during my teen radical days ...
