Gov’t not solely to blame for Rodney probe blip – Luncheon

Government is not without blame in the failure to follow through with an inquiry into the death of Dr Walter Rodney, but others are responsible too, Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon said yesterday.
Speaking at his weekly press briefing at the Office of the President, the Head of the Presidential Secretariat said the motion was treated in the “Guyanese style,” as it was not followed through.
Prime Minister Sam Hinds had said in the National Assembly that the resolution was dropped because the Rodney family had not wanted the investigation to go forward.
However, Dr Patricia Rodney, widow of Dr Walter Rodney, said in a letter to the press that no member of the Rodney family had ever communicated to anyone that the family did not want a probe into the death of Walter Rodney.
