Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R), David Granger, has appointed
Amna Ally, MP, to serve as General Secretary of the Party with effect from July 1, 2017.
She would replace Oscar Clarke, CCH, who served as the party’s General Secretary through the tenures of three party leaders and who has retired with effect from yesterday, PNC/R said in a statement.
Clarke, CCH, was appointed General Secretary of the PNC/R on the 1st December, 1968.
He started his service to the PNC in its youth arm and at age 26 was selected to represent the party in the National Assembly.
In 1965, he was made a Parliamentary Secretary and served as Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly from January 1, 1969 to December 31, 1969.
For over five decades, Clarke served as Minister of State, Minister of Regional Development, Minister of Home Affairs and Guyana’s High Commissioner to Zambia and the Front-Line States and Ambassador to the Republic of Cuba.
He served as a Member of Parliament for 21 years and in 2015 he was awarded the Cacique’s Crown of Honour for exemplary public service to Guyana.
PNC/R explained that Amna Ally, MP, is a long standing member of the People’s National Congress Reform.
“Like her predecessor Oscar Clarke, she came through the ranks of the party’s youth arm and served as National Secretary and on the National Executive.”
As an elected member of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the PNC/R and before being appointed as General Secretary, she served as the Assistant General Secretary of the Party.
The PNC/R said Ally possesses a Teacher’s Certificate from the Cyril Potter College of Education and a Degree in Management from the University of Guyana.
“Ms. Ally also served as a member of the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Parliament, 2001-2015 and is
currently serving as Chief Whip and Minister of Social Protection in the Eleventh Parliament.”
