The AFC has lauded the opposition by Aishalton residents to their village council’s decision to remove schoolteacher John Adams from the community, while saying Amerin-dians need to know their rights.
At a press conference yesterday, AFC Member of Parliament Valerie Garrido-Lowe emphasised the need for the situation to be dealt with fairly rather than politically.
Garrido-Lowe further noted the comments of Regis James, an Aishalton village councillor, who stated that the village was a village council and not a Neighbourhood Demo-cratic Council (NDC).
According to Garrido-Lowe, the fact that Aishalton is controlled by a village council should not impede the dispensation from its leaders of fair treatment and proper representation of the community’s residents. She added that a village council should not deny justice to residents who had been wronged.
