WPA to meet on removal of Rodney name from National Archives building
The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) is to meet today on the removal of the name of its slain leader Dr Walter Rodney from the National Archives building.
Rechristened in 2008 under the then PPP/C administration, the removal of the name under the APNU+AFC government could exacerbate tensions between it and the WPA which is a member of senior governing coalition partner A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).
The key member of APNU is the PNCR which had been accused of direct involvement in the killing of Dr Rodney. The government has not said anything about the effacing of Rodney’s name from the archives.
