President Ali sidesteps questions on Seeram’s future as Border Patrol Director

(Kaieteur News) – President Irfaan Ali on Monday deflected questions from the press regarding the future role of National Border Patrol Director, Daniel Seeram following his recent guilty conviction for domestic assault, firmly dismissing queries about executive clemency and declining to state whether the official will be asked to step down.

The exchange unfolded on Monday, October 12, 2026, where reporters pressed the head-of-state on whether Seeram would retain his key national security position or if executive intervention was under consideration.

Asked whether he would consider exercising his constitutional powers to grant Seeram executive clemency, President Ali distanced himself from the prospect.
