President Irfaan Ali says that while he is leading the national “One Guyana” inclusivity initiative, it is in no way political and should be embraced by all those who wish to see this country develop holistically. 

During an interview last Monday, Ali told the Stabroek News that it pains him when he hears anyone interlink politics with the social cohesion and inclusivity initiative.

“I’m building one Guyana. We are we are pushing for one Guyana in which all the people must benefit. Prosperity must come to every single home. If in building one Guyana, the whole country supports me, I’ll be very happy. But if in building one Guyana [and] 10,000… persons do not support, then we have to continue to work to get those 10,000 persons to support one Guyana.
