PNC RUNNING SCARED!

OLD Kai had to deviate from the intended continuation of exposing the PNC/APNU’s effort to stifle the ‘Impact Albouystown’ project.What was so important for this digression? It is the suspicious movements by the PNC over the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry. More than suspicion, the pronouncements by the party’s leadership indicates that outright ‘panic’ has stepped into its ranks.
This is clearly evident, based on the pronouncements of the PNC Chairman, APNU’s shadow Minister of Legal Affairs, Basil Williams. Williams told reporters that while the person who is testifying is pardoned, “there is no mention of what happens if he fingers a third party…”

Panic in the PNC/APNU camp is an understatement!

This was in response to comments made by the Chairman of the Rodney Commission, Sir Richard Cheltenham, that the “COI is not about investigating men; they have nothing to fear from testifying, because no prosecution can follow… We are here to find out the facts of the unnatural death of Dr. Walter Rodney, which remains an unsolved issue, and I appeal to all who have information to come forward and share that information with the Commission.”
Based on this revelation, even the average citizen will question Williams’ concern on behalf of the PNC/APNU as to what will be the fate of the guilty, if the evidence exposes a third party as being responsible for the death of Dr. Rodney.
Why is he so concerned? Does he have information which may implicate a silent third-party in Rodney’s death? By his statement, is he not admitting that Dr. Rodney was indeed the victim of a plot? He clearly has some amount of information to have offered such a concern: Why not share it with the Inquiry panel?
Their panic has rendered their arguments pathetic, as no better description can be made of Williams’ effort, on behalf of the PNC, to discredit the work of the COI, even before it has started, and the possible statements of members appearing before it.
Regarding the fact that the COI will be allowing ‘hearsay and opinion evidence,’ Williams contends that “this poses a threat, and is dangerous, since the incident is an old one, and memories are also old.”
How can someone’s memory be ‘old’? What about the wife, kids and other relatives of Rodney who have had to relive that dreadful memory almost every day of their lives? Are their memories of the incident old? It is possible for someone to have a memory of an incident which occurred in the past, but contending that the individual’s memory ‘is old’ could only be construed as a baseless attack on those who will appear before the Commission. It is an attack on their integrity, and it must be condemned by all who want to finally get the facts regarding what really occurred on that fateful day inside motorcar PBB 2349.
The decision by the PNC to refuse to participate, even though they may have very useful information as they were controlling the reigns of the dictatorship over our people at the time, is telling in itself. It gets even more interesting when we are informed that the PNC has put together a legal team “since the reputation of many is on the line.”
That ‘many’ can only refer to the PNC, and quite possibly their minions during that period. So, if they are afraid that their reputation will be tarnished, why not appear before the COI and clear their name, once and for all?
One would reasonably expect that they of all stakeholders would have been eager to clear their name, if they were confident that they had no part to play in the death of Dr. Rodney.
Alas! They have chosen not to participate, and further, are making all manner of excuses to distract from the inquiry and even further attempt to attack the credibility of information provided by witnesses, even before hearing what that information is.
Panic in the PNC/APNU camp is an understatement!
