I had the privilege of working with Lennox on many projects at the Ministry of Housing and Water, the Ministry of Tourism , Industry and Commerce and as President. His most recent project was Guyana’s 55th Independence Anniversary.
As Minister, we worked together on numerous projects- Guyana Festival, Building Expo, GuyExpo and numerous other national events.
His love for culture and country was boundless and unquestionable,” Ali said in a statement.

He was a true nationalist, and I will greatly miss him. My sincere condolences go out to his family at this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace.”
