The failure of the WPA to develop the terms of reference – GAIL

“It was the WPA that was responsible in the first place for there not being an inquiry. However, it was not the defeat of the motion that halted the promised inquiry. It was the failure of the WPA to develop the terms of reference for the inquiry that eventually brought an end to a process that was initiated during the 25th anniversary of the historian’s assassination. Dr. Roopnaraine was the interlocutor between President Jagdeo and the Rodney family. Later it was learnt that he had misrepresented the wishes of the family in this appointed role.”
