Guyana's com­bined op­po­si­tion on Mon­day wel­comed the Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty's (CARI­COM) nom­i­nees for Guyana's planned Com­mis­sion of In­quiry in­to the Ju­ly 18 dis­tur­bance that left three dead, on line news out­let De­mer­ara Waves On­line re­port­ed yes­ter­day. It was not im­me­di­ate­ly clear whether the Guyana gov­ern­ment has al­so agreed to the three ju­rists-For­mer Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter, Se­nior Coun­sel KD Knights; for­mer Chief Jus­tice of Ja­maica, Lens­ley Wolfe and for­mer in­de­pen­dent sen­a­tor in Trinidad and To­ba­go, Se­nior Coun­sel Dana See­ta­hal.

The un­rest had stemmed from Lin­den­ers op­po­si­tion to a steep hike in elec­tric­i­ty rates due to a slash in gov­ern­ment's sub­sidy by GUY$ 1 bil­lion this year. The Guyana gov­ern­ment has rec­om­mend­ed Guyanese Jus­tices Claudette Singh and Ce­cil Ken­nard. He is al­so Chair­man of the Po­lice Com­plaints Au­thor­i­ty. Vice Chair­man of A Part­ner­ship for Na­tion­al Uni­ty (AP­NU), Dr. Ru­pert Roop­naraine told De­mer­ara Waves On­line News (www.demwaves.com) that "we have seen the names and we have agreed to them."
