President Ali continues to up-lift the nation

Mar 06, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

Let me be clear from the outset, that no one, not His Excellency, Honorable Mohamed Irfaan Ali, the young, handsome, generous and energetic President of Guyana, nor his secretariat have asked me to write on his behalf. I am writing this letter based on my observation of the several developmental projects throughout the country, the rapid and robust growth of the economy, the upgrading and modernization of the infrastructure, and the increase in the living standards of its citizens. Given his years in public service as the Minister of Housing and Industry and now as President, Dr. Irfaan Ali has become an astute, experienced and or seasoned politician by any stretch of the imagination. As the head of State, Dr. Ali is bestowed with the extraordinary qualities of being original, creative, proactive, selfless, courageous and reassuring. He gives hope to the hopeless, rescue those who have lost their way, and embrace those who have been rejected or abandoned.

His Excellency is very candid and has always been known to “call a spade a spade.” He is courteous and is known for speaking the truth especially against wrong doings even when it not polite or pleasant to do so. A case in point was when the President summoned members of his cabinet, Permanent Secretaries, engineers, key government officials and delinquent contractors to an early morning meeting at State House to explain the delay of several contracts by four months or more. During the hour-long engagement with those present, the President, in a stern, no-nonsense and clear message, expressed his frustration at the alarming rate of delays of several public projects across the country.

He warned the delinquent contractors and complacent government officials that the delays and mismanagement in the execution of public projects will no longer be tolerated. It was a harsh missive to all for their lackadaisical attitude that has allowed inefficiencies to fester. His Excellency underscored the fact that contractors whose projects were not completed by the end of last year will face termination of their contracts and blacklisting and that fines will be levied by the government on those who fail to meet their contractual obligations. His message was blunt and unequivocal that systemic failures in public projects and inconvenience of the public will not be tolerated.

Since becoming President in August 2020, President Dr. Ali has become a transformative and visionary leader. He is humble, hardworking and respectful to everyone. He is engaging and has been visible in the forefront to promote the interests of everyone in several communities across the country. His “One Guyana” vision rests on the core belief to create a more equal and just society that guarantees everyone, regardless of race, religion, status or party affiliation the opportunity to lead productive and happy lives as well as reducing inequality in accessing education, health care, employment and income.

An exceptional and skillful leader, Dr. Ali is good natured, intelligent, sensible, pragmatic, and is in sync with the grassroots. Not only has his policies lifted-up the citizens, especially the less fortunate in society, but they have also transformed the socio-economic landscape in Guyana and raised the standing of the country from its underdeveloped ranking to a developing nation status regionally, hemispheric, and globally. What seemed impossible to achieve, His Excellence has attained it. The Head of State strongly believes in the goodness and gentleness of humanity and expressed the hope that his government will continue to uplift the people of Guyana and their living standards, the dignity of the elders and the future of the children.

Sincerely,
Dr. Asquith Rose
