Dear Editor,
Prime Minister Mark Phillips made the announcement that there would be an addition to the cash grant pay out, verbatim, “The cash grant would be more than the last pay out.” That sentiment was re-echoed by President Ali when he said there would be a bright Christmas 2025.
These promises were made during the run-up to the September 1st Election; however, there has never been an announcement of the pay out, nor was there any clear indication as to the real cash total of the pay out that is to be made.
Now, we are fast approaching two months since that promise was made, and persons are in eager anticipation awaiting the day for the announcement of that real sum of money.
As is the case with a cash promise, some have affixed a total to the anticipated cash grant; it would be $200,000, it should be $150,000, or, as my friend emphatically remarked, “It would be $360,000.”
Now, all of these statements are mere projections of what the cash pay out should be, not an official announcement, but anticipatory glimpses of what someone as a payee should be given.
In any event, I am very optimistic of a pay out on or before Christmas because the PPP/C Government never promises anything they cannot deliver. We are waiting!
Yours respectfully,
Neil Adams
