The Indian Action Committee (IAC) wishes to express its congratulations to Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali PhD on his noteworthy achievement of having been awarded a doctorate in urban and regional planning by the University of the West Indies at its recent convocation.

The IAC hopes that this degree, the highest that can be awarded by the foremost university of the region, will dispel the negative aspersions that have been cast upon the reputation of this prominent politician who has served in the previous administration with responsibilities for several ministries at the same time including housing, water, trade and tourism; and, in opposition, is currently serving as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee in the National Assembly which has not been dissolved as yet.

The IAC recognizes that Dr. Ali’s previous endeavours led to massive housing developments on the coast of Guyana including Diamond/Grove, Providence, Herstelling, New Perseverance, Eccles, La Parfait Harmonie, Tuschen and Bush Lot.

The IAC wishes Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali the best in his future endeavours and hopes that his higher learning can benefit all the people of Guyana in the near future.
