The lone Commissioner appointed to investigate the deaths of eight miners at Lindo Creek Guyana is assuring he is up for the task ahead.

Retired Justice Donald Trotman was sworn in last Friday and has received his instruments of appointment.

Justice Trotman said the task of the commission is to know the truth.

The government says the enquiry is aimed at investigating all matters related to the killings of the eight minors.

The commission is to make recommendations about actions to be taken against all persons and oranisations deemed responsible for the deaths of those persons.
