President Irfaan Ali yesterday defended his association with the United States-sanctioned Mohameds and the use of their bulletproof vehicle during his presidential campaign in 2020 saying he does not believe this paved the way for their alleged wrongdoings nor is he compromised.

“Guyana is a small country… there is no one in this room who can tell me they don’t know the Mohameds… all the banks were associated with the Mohameds. All of the major businesses might have been associated with the Mohameds. The Mohameds have been in business … long before I was born,” he said to questions posed by  Stabroek News at a press conference at State House.
