The Tivoli Commission of Enquiry

[Mosiah]

This is not going to go well. I'm watching Tivoli residents who were not advised/coached as to what takes place in enquiries. The point of the entire thing is to seek information, which suggests that the witnesses may be required to inform the commission about what they know. In other words, they will be required to become INFORMAHS!

"Do you know Dudus as the person who used to run the community?"

"Wha...? Dudus...a God run di community. GAD!"

I guess he was simply saying "yes".

But if they are not prepared to answer the questions, under advice by the legal team, then tek weh yuhself and stop waste wi time!

I was in their corner at the start of the COE. I find myself looking outward now.

"The point of the entire thing is to seek information, which suggests that the witnesses may be required to inform the commission about what they know. "?

Is it really or just partially?

[Mosiah]

Whatever other reasons one could come up with, at the end of the day it's all going to come down to the information that was gleaned from the proceedings.

[Rockman]

I see no reson for it,even after the police took control of the community the bloodletting continued,where are those guns?Give the soldiers immunity, it is consistent with the search for the truth.

[Islandman]

Do you see no reason for it or do you think immunity should be granted as part of the process?

Bwaay JLP salt BaBa. Just when dem have Outameni and getting little traction here comes TG to bite them in the Arse one more time. If only they had...... oh well.

[Rockman]

It certainly changes things if the soldiers are given immunity,other than I am not expecting anything worthwhile...
If the soldiers are asking for immunity then there must be something from which they want to be protected.., testimony is potentially self incriminating.
It also corroborates the testimonies of the witnesses and identify the people said to be guilty,something that will lead to criminal prosecutions.

The PR battle just won't go their way.... Damned Termites

[Islandman]

I understand where you are coming from, that does make sense.

However what is your take on this perspective, that it should not just be seen as a process that has to result in criminal prosecutions to be deemed worthwhile?

Is the West Kingston Commission of Enquiry a Waste of Time?
By Dionne Jackson Miller


The answer to the question as to whether the West Kingston enquiry, just started at the Jamaica Conference Centre, is a waste of time probably depends on your expectations. If you want to see someone pronounced guilty and sent to prison, then you may well find it a waste of time since the enquiry is not a criminal trial.

Nothing to disagree with there.

Public confidence in Enquires has dwindled and for good reasons, the public quest to be informed(via Enquiries)isn't its top priority,making it more effective is therefore desired.
I do believe had an Enquiry been held into the Eventide mass murders,JP would have had information despite the absence of a criminal trial,Enquiries therefore serve a purpose.

[Rockman]

On another note,I find it peculiar that Jim Brown(a player at that time period) met a fiery death in a confined location and his wife herself became blind and an amputee mirroring the conditions of the victims..
Not to mention how the initial complicity could not spare their son from the very hidden technocrats that had a hand in the Eventide killings.
Nature has a way of being an equalizer.
