Dear Editor,
AS we approach August 2, 2024, marking four years of President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s administration, it is fitting to commend the President and his People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) for the unparalleled development that Guyana has experienced since August 2020. Under Dr. Ali’s visionary leadership, Guyana has undergone a remarkable transformation, with advancements evident in every facet of our nation.

The 2020 elections were a critical juncture in our history. President Ali and the PPP/C bravely led the fight to preserve our democracy, thwarting attempts by the APNU-AFC coalition to undermine the will of the people.
The struggle to ensure a free and fair election was arduous, but it highlighted the President’s unwavering commitment to democratic principles and justice. This dedication laid the foundation for the prosperity and stability we now enjoy.
President Ali’s leadership extends beyond national borders, making a significant impact in the Caribbean and on the global stage. His proactive approach to governance is reflected in his constant presence in communities across the nation.
Whether in bustling urban centres or the most remote villages, President Ali has made it a priority to connect with the masses, ensuring that development reaches every segment of society. This hands-on approach has fostered a sense of unity and inclusiveness, epitomised by his One Guyana Initiative.

One of the most commendable aspects of President Ali’s leadership is his focus on food security. By diversifying agriculture and implementing policies aimed at reducing the Caribbean’s food import bill by 25 per cent by 2025, he has positioned Guyana as a key player in regional food security. His administration’s emphasis on sustainable agriculture not only enhances our economic security, but also contributes significantly to the well-being of the entire Caribbean region.
Furthermore, the Low-Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) 2030 is a testament to President Ali’s commitment to sustainable development. This strategy balances economic growth with environmental stewardship, ensuring that Guyana’s natural resources are utilised responsibly.

The prudent economic management under his administration has led to robust infrastructure development, enhancing connectivity and boosting economic activities across the country.
President Ali’s dedication to the holistic development of Guyana is evident in his administration’s efforts to improve healthcare, education, and social services. His policies have created an environment conducive to investment and innovation, driving economic growth and improving the quality of life for all Guyanese.
In conclusion, President Dr. Irfaan Ali and the PPP/C have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and vision over the past four years. Their achievements have set a high standard for governance and development, making Guyana a beacon of progress in the Caribbean.
As we celebrate this milestone, let us acknowledge and commend the President’s tireless efforts to build a united, prosperous, and sustainable Guyana.
Yours Truly,
Anson Paul
