There will be a COI into the 2000-2011 killings

Dear Editor,
It has been announced that there would be a Commission of Inquiry into the killings that occurred in Guyana during the period 2000 to 2011. This comes on the heels of the Opposition making urgent calls for these killing episodes to be properly investigated, and for closure to come to that morbid decade of our history.
The COI I am referring to would address all of the damning claims made by the PNC-led Coalition Opposition.
The PNC have been relentless agitators on these matters, levelling their accusations squarely at the feet of the Government. This COI would allow them to prove themselves; now is their time to shine! They would have their day to present things known and presented as facts to be thoroughly investigated.
At conclusion of this COI, a reasoned summary would be made in regard to what had actually taken place during that horrible period in our nation’s history.
Now that we are at the imminent phase of a COI, there should be no excuses that these inquiries are costly affairs. Yes, we do agree that these are costly ventures, but the important point to be considered here is that we want to know what had occurred. The entire country is waiting for the truth.
I make this statement from proven past experiences wherein the PNC had made these wild and unsubstantiated statements, and then, at the crucial time to prove them, had simply backed away.
Accusations of extrajudicial or racial killings are in themselves damning allegations that require factual evidence to back up those claims. As the Opposition is notorious for using such tactics, having a COI would eliminate the sensationalism of PNC propaganda, and would expose the motive behind all of these accusations.
As someone had remarked, some people would get diarrhoea when the COI gets going (the creole expression for diarrhoea would be more appropriate).
Like the COI in the Walter Rodney murder, there would be neither political interference nor witness tampering. Those who testify would be doing so of their own free will and in an atmosphere that is free from fear or intimidation.
Finally, there would be no concealment of the report, as the PNC did in 2015. A COI of such magnitude would be made public for all to read and draw their own conclusions, so let the COI begin!

Respectfully,
Neil Adams
