ANOTHER week of hearings in the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry (COI), set up to investigate the death of former historian/politician Dr. Walter Rodney, will commence on January 26. 

The Commission’s Lead Counsel, Glen Hanoman told the Chronicle that another week will be facilitated towards the end of February.
Meanwhile, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon said yesterday that Cabinet was, earlier this week, informed about the 2015 planned programme of activities of the commission.
“Noteworthy, the imminent presence of the Commission and the recommencement of public hearings in the Law Library was a feature of the programme,” Dr Luncheon said at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President, here in Georgetown.
According to him, apart from the January hearings, additional hearings are planned for February and March.
As for rumour going the rounds that funds to facilitate the inquiry are “drying up”, Dr Luncheon said such talk cannot be sustained. “They are idle talks, and not worthy of any serious consideration,” he said.
