According to President Ali, as the country navigates this period of transformation, the most important aspect is to ensure that every section of the population can benefit from equitable development.
“In a targeted way, the vulnerable, the poor and oppressed, they must be elevated at a much faster pace so that we can achieve just and equitable development,” he said.
Looking to the future, Dr Ali said workers of the country will approach 2030 and beyond not only having the best welfare package in the Caribbean region but as the most “advanced, educated and skilled” population.

Further, in pointing out that more than 65,000 jobs were created within the past three and a half year, President Ali said to enhance the self-worth of the working class, the government will be incentivizing qualification.
“We want to ensure that you work and have the ability to earn in dignity and decency.
“In building, we want you to retire with dignify, descent pension…We want holistic living…Creating job, enhancing income…creating safe space in communities, addressing issues of mental health, advancing social service,” President Ali said.
The erection of permanent structures blocking pavements and public roadways without permission is a criminal offence.
And Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, SC, is concerned that for decades the police and Mayor and City Council have failed to execute their duties in stemming these actions.
“It is a criminal offence to encumber pavements and public roadways. It is a criminal offence to block someone’s ingress and egress to their premises.
“It is a criminal offence to vend without permission. It is a criminal offence to erect permanent structures without permission on parapets, public roadways and public reserves,” Nandlall said during his weekly ‘Issues in the News’ broadcast.
Nandlall believes these offences are committed with impunity.
Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil NandallAnd when the authorities attempt to enforce the law, Nandlall said they are met with all types of “irrelevant” considerations.
In recent months, business entities have been forced to approach the courts to get orders directing the City Council to remove vendors from around their premises.
In fact, the High Court delivered at least three judgements in the favour of city businesses seeking to have vendors removed from the entrances and outskirts of their premises.
Recently, attorney for the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, Sase Gunraj wrote to the City Council seeking to have vendors removed from outside the hospital premises within the next seven days.
Failure to do so, will result in legal action.
According to Nandlall, the City Council has the statutory power to address these matters.
However, for decades, he said the Council has “neglected” to execute its duties.
“While the City Council has a statutory power and a statutory duty to address these matters and to remove these unlawful encumbrances and unlawful vending from the streets and from public reserves without Georgetown and within any municipality.
“The Guyana Police Force also have an overriding objection to ensure that there is law and order. That is there duty but there have been a combination of neglect for decades,” Nandlall explained.
This, he said, resulted in the “monstrous” situation of unlawful vending, around the city, resulting in chaos and unhygienic conditions.
“It is up to us as people if we want to live in that type of chaos, disorder, stench and nastiness because we know what these vending result in, the garbage, the blockages, the unlawful erections, the unhygienic environment that is created as a result of these unlawful conduct,” Nandlall said.
Noting that he is not against vendors, Nandlall said illegal vending cannot be tolerated.
“It will not be tolerated in any civilised society,” he said.
With the recent acquisition of a cutting-edge crime scene vehicle, the Guyana Police Force has taken a monumental step towards fortifying its crime-solving prowess.
This state-of-the-art addition to their arsenal not only symbolizes progress but also underlines the force’s unwavering commitment to enhancing public safety and ensuring swift, efficient investigations.
The simple but significant handing over ceremony was held at the Tactical Services Unit, Drill Square, Police Headquarters, Eve Leary on April 30, 2024.
Before acquiring this modern vehicle, the Guyana Police Force faced significant limitations in its crime-solving capabilities. One of the major setbacks was the inability to transport crucial equipment essential for forensic analysis, such as fragile samples like blood and DNA samples, along with a photographic studio for capturing critical evidence on-site. This lack of mobility hindered their ability to conduct thorough investigations at crime scenes, often resulting in delays and incomplete data collection.
However, with the introduction of the new Crime Scene vehicle, these limitations have been effectively addressed. The vehicle boasts a range of amenities designed to facilitate efficient and comprehensive crime scene processing. From cool storage units for transporting delicate samples to first aid kits and wash sinks aiding in fingerprint processing, the vehicle is equipped with everything needed to conduct sophisticated forensic analysis on-site. Additionally, computer workstations, secure lockers, power outlets, solar lighting systems, and tent facilities further enhance the operational capabilities of the force, allowing them to set up fully functional mobile labs at crime scenes.
With this advanced capability at their disposal, the Guyana Police Force can now respond to crime scenes with greater speed, accuracy, and effectiveness, allowing the lab to be taken to the crime scene.
This not only improves the efficiency of crime-solving efforts but also increases the chances of gathering crucial evidence that might otherwise have been overlooked or compromised during transportation.
Present at the ceremony were; Minister of Home of Affairs Hon. Robeson Benn, Permanent Secretary Ministry of Home Affairs, Mr Andre Ally, Commissioner of Police, Mr. Clifton Hicken, Deputy Commissioner ‘Operations’ Ravindradat Budhram, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum, Stakeholders, several Regional Commanders, and other senior and junior officers.
