The Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry (COI) will begin next Monday and representatives of the Guyana Police Force, the Guyana Defence Force and the Georgetown Public Hospital may be among the first to testify.
The Government Information Agency (GINA), in a press release issued yesterday, said that the COI will now be convening hearings on April 28, 29 and 30 and May 2.
The release stated that the hearings were originally supposed to begin yesterday but there was no official word until midday of a postponement.
When contacted yesterday, head of the COI’s Secretariat Hugh Denbow clarified that the chairman, commissioners and the administration of the secretariat had been working towards an April 22 start date. However, he said the date was not a definite one and it was only last week it was decided that the hearings would begin on Monday, April 28.
He said that at no time were witnesses told to turn up on April 22 to give their evidence. Denbow said
