Although Guyana’s envoy to Kuwait Dr. Shamir Ally was convicted in the United States of an offence under the US Securities Exchange Act, the Alliance for Change (AFC) last evening stressed that he was never convicted of a crime and always maintained his innocence in the civil case brought against him.
“We must reiterate that contrary to recent media reports, Dr. Shamir Ally was charged and required to pay a penalty by the SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission]. He was not convicted of a crime,” the party said in a statement.
The statement comes amidst an investigation that has been launched by the Foreign Affairs Ministry
