According to the VP, a total of 674,200 persons are registered across the country for the cash grant and on Thursday provided a regional breakdown.
Distribution of the grant had commenced last year, with some 90,000 persons receiving the monies. Recipients mostly included public sector workers, pensioners and residents from hinterland regions.
Jagdeo had assured that the remaining cheques will be distributed once the 2025 National Budget is approved.
For persons who have not registered, Jagdeo said “anyone in any region who’s been unable to register, we’re putting in place permanent arrangements where they can go in and get registered. Then we’ll also have to sort the disabled and shut-ins.”
The government has announced additional cash grants in the 2025 National Budget including the provision of $100,000 to every child born to a Guyanese mother.
