Con­cerns over po­lit­i­cal vic­tim­i­sa­tion, dis­pro­por­tion­ate fund­ing among re­gion­al cor­po­ra­tions and the un­will­ing­ness of some to speak out on pub­lic is­sues were raised dur­ing an in­ter­faith cer­e­mo­ny mark­ing the Diego Mar­tin Bor­ough Cor­po­ra­tion’s 3rd an­niver­sary yes­ter­day.

Dur­ing her fea­ture ad­dress at the St John’s RC Church, Diego Mar­tin May­or Ake­li­ah Glas­gow-Warn­er thanked past and present ad­min­is­tra­tors for their self­less­ness and ded­i­ca­tion to their du­ties over the years.

With­out nam­ing any par­tic­u­lar in­sti­tu­tion or per­son, how­ev­er, she al­so ac­knowl­edged that there seemed to be a per­sis­tent fear to dis­agree with or make pub­lic re­marks con­trary to the main­stream nar­ra­tive, par­tic­u­lar­ly about is­sues re­lat­ing to pub­lic af­fairs.
