Georgetown: Government is in discussion with the Dr Walter Rodney Foundation and the late historian’s wife to determine the commissioners and the terms of reference for the international inquiry to be held into his June 13, 1980 assassination. Dr Rodney is believed to have been assassinated by agents working for the then Forbes Burnham-led People’s National Congress (PNC) government.
President Donald Ramotar said already an office has been established where materials are being gathered and a decision has to be made by the Rodney Foundation and Mrs Rodney, in particular, about the makeup of the commission.
“Dr Luncheon and Anil Nandlall are the two government contact persons who are working with the family to get this moving. We are ready and we are just to agree on the finalisation of the terms of reference and so forth and then we will be ready soon,” Ramotar said.
Recently, the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) and the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) said their support for the Commission of Inquiry into the death of the WPA’s co-founder will be withheld until an examination of the terms of reference (ToRs) is done.
