Government has not acted on a resolution to investigate the death of Dr Walter Rodney because the family didn’t want to go ahead with it, Prime Minister Sam Hinds said on Thursday.
But the administration was ready to commence such an investigation should it be desired, he said in response to a question by Sheila Holder of the Alliance for Change (AFC) during Wednesday’s sitting of the National Assembly.
Holder said that it had been two years and a half years since the passage of a resolution on June 29, 2005 calling for a full and impartial investigation into the death of Dr Rodney, killed by a bomb blast in Georgetown on June 13, 1980. “Why has this resolution not been honoured to date?” she asked.
