After facing questions about Guyana’s oil wealth and the amount given to its people so far, President Irfaan Ali last Wednesday shut down a Yarrowkabra woman’s line of questioning and instead, opted to dwell on the improvements his government has ushered in throughout its years in office.

The exchange took place during a visit by the President and a few other Ministers to several communities along the Soesdyke\Linden Highway to hear and address the concerns of residents. During the outreach, various questions were raised with the majority of them being discussed, followed by commitments to fix those problems, where possible.
