President Donald Ramotar yesterday signed the book of condolence for former Chairman of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), Dr. Moti Lall.
President Ramotar said that he knew Dr. Lall since in the 1960s and he has been a stalwart in the People’s Progressive Party. “He worked very hard in many areas…he got a lot of work done since his return from Canada and we have worked very closely… his passing will have a big impact specifically on the West Demerara where he had a lot of patients and also on our party, as he was looked up to as an example… he has left to mourn not only his family, but also thousands of party members and supporters who really appreciated and liked him.
Dr. Moti Lall passed away on Tuesday morning at his Republic Park, East Bank Demerara residence after a prolonged period of illness. He was 69 years of age.
Born on January 14, 1942, Lall was the eldest of his siblings, who all grew up in the village of Buxton, East Coast Demerara, and went on to pursue secondary schooling at the Queen’s College, after which he pursued a career in the field of medicine as he was awarded a scholarship to study medicine in Havana, Cuba.
He was a former President of the Chest Society and was instrumental in the opening of the Chest Clinic in Orange Walk, Georgetown, and in recognition of his efforts to help reduce the scourge of Tubercolis, was awarded the Silver Medal by the Ministry of Health in 1983 and in 1998, the country’s third highest honour- Cacique Crown of Honour (CCH)- by the Government for his long and dedicated service in the field of medicine.
Dr. Moti Lall also served as a Member of Parliament (MP) in the Sixth and Seventh Parliaments from November 24, 1992 to February 15, 2001 and again in 2005.
He is survived by his wife, Chitra and their two children.
