The APNU+AFC government has lauded the service of retired Head of the Public Service Hydar Ally.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that a large crowd gathered at the Public Service Ministry’s Training Division, Vlissengen Road on 15th August 2015, to show appreciation to the former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Service.
The event which was organised by current Permanent Secretary of the Public Service Ministry Reginald Brotherson was also attended by Minister of Citizenship Winston Felix and Minister of State Joseph Harmon.
The release reported Felix as saying that the function was a demonstration of the high regard which the staff held for Ally. Felix said that even though it may now be the end of Ally’s contribution to public service he is “still fit and ready to continue in other areas that require his skill”.
Meanwhile, Harmon reminded the gathering of Government’s policy when it comes to service in the Public Service. Harmon said, “once people serve honourably their services will be respected”. He emphasised that Government recognises the input of all Guyanese irrespective of political affiliation, religious persuasion and ethnic background. “We are concerned about service and the quality of service”.
Harmon said that Ally was clearly “very heavy on quality service”. He added that because of Ally’s training and somewhat still youthful state, “the door is still open for him to come back and offer his service to government in that capacity – maybe as a trainer in the Public Service Staff College which will be established soon”.
The release said that Ally expressed gratitude to the government and congratulated it on recognising that service to the people of Guyana is more important than one’s political preference.
Ally’s tenure as Permanent Secretary, Head of the Public Service came to an end on 30th June 2015. Ally was a long-serving permanent secretary under the former PPP/C government. He functioned for several years as the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Education.
Ally is a longstanding executive member of the PPP/C.
