Government has declared its “intention” to properly gazette and rename the National Archives of Guyana as the Dr Walter Rodney Archives.
“We are engaging the Working People’s Alliance and we will address that matter. It was a temporary measure. The sign which was there before was taken down and we will do all that is necessary to ensure that the law is observed and then we will put up the appropriate sign once that is done,” Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon told reporters yesterday.
Christened the Walter Rodney Archives in 2008 under the then PPP/C administration the name and the signboard which carried it quietly disappeared for months before it was brought to public attention by WPA elder Eusi Kwayana.
