By Abigail Headley
Following criticism by Stabroek News, the Rights of the Child Commission (RCC) has defended its performance and says it has followed closely and made interventions in key cases affecting children such as the Mahdia dormitory fire and the rape allegation against former Minister of Local Government Nigel Dharamlall.
In an interview with Stabroek News, it however acknowledged that challenges in its communications and public relations department might have hindered the circulation of updates on its work.
Earlier this month, Stabroek News sat down with the executive members of the RCC for a Q & A session. Deputy Chairman Rosemary Benjamin-Noble said that the Commission takes criticism seriously and is accountable to both the public and children.
