Finance Minister replaces experienced professional with close friend who lived overseas for 24 years
Winston Jordan
IN a press statement today the People's Progressive Party(PPP) drew the public's attention to what it termed 'ethnically motivated cleansing' being carried out across the public and diplomatic services by the defacto APNU+AFC administration. The party described as an example the case of Zulfikar Ally. Ally it said, is a young Guyanese professional serving as Executive Director for the Caribbean at the Inter-American Development Bank. The PPP said "though eminently qualified and serving with distinction Mr. Ally was recalled".
He was replaced by a friend of Finance Minister Winston Jordon who has not lived or worked in Guyana for over 24 years.
In closing the PPP also highlighted the dismissal of several experienced non-political diplomats. The party questioned the rationale behind the recall of Ambassadors Bayney Karran and Merlin Udho.

The friends and family gang of the PPP being replaced by that of the PNC. Nothing gets done and who suffers - the people.
Shut yuh stink mouth. You never complained about PPP/C cronyism and nepotism. You do not have the right to speak out now.
So it is Ok for the PNC to do it, but not the PPP. The Alliance is doing what they say they wouldn't do. Nothing has changed.
At least, change your rum drinking ways...
