“Several cash grants in the next 5 years” – Jagdeo assures Guyanese

Vice President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo has reassured citizens that whenever the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) makes a promise, it will deliver.
He explained that citizens will benefit from more cash grant initiatives throughout the next five years.
“This is a five-year term we have; there will be several cash grants in the five years… Don’t worry about it,” he said.
He emphasised this point in response to a question during his press conference on whether the Government has made a decision on rolling out a cash grant initiative in time for Christmas.
On the campaign trail, President Dr Irfaan Ali had hinted that his Government will distribute another cash grant to citizens, possibly in time for Christmas – if re-elected to office.
“Whatever the President said on the campaign trail will be done,” Jagdeo said.
Approximately 600,000 Guyanese aged 18 and above were eligible for the initiative when it was first introduced in October 2024. The cash grant was valued at $100,000.
