There has been public consternation over an incident at the opening of the Building Expo 2023 on Thursday where President Irfaan Ali forcefully yanks the arm of one of his young security guards and remonstrates with him.
In the video being circulated on social media, the President’s entourage was walking with him and his security detail was trying to manage the number of persons who could approach him.
At one point the guard turned and appeared to block United States Ambassador Sarah-Ann Lynch from shaking Ali’s hand. It was then that Ali reached out and pulled the man and shoved him ahead of him. He then had an angry exchange with him.
Stabroek News yesterday reached out to the President’s office for a comment on the matter but up to press time there was none.
