The cash grant will be given to verified, ID persons

Dec 03, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor

The $100,000 cash grant will be given to those persons who have a photographed identification of themselves. An ongoing verification process is in place before the cash grant can be given. A verification process is absolutely necessary to ensure that all living, breathing persons 18 years and above benefit from a portion of the sovereign wealth this country has to offer them. It also ensures that monies are accredited to the right individuals and not to the manufactured crooks lurking out there. A thorough verification will iron-out all such anomalies that might otherwise mar an honest process.

This information is stored in a database for reference, should any dispute surfaces. The government is very wary of the pitfalls that spoiled past cash giveaways, hence they are putting everything in place to foil a repeat. Government wants every adult 18 years and over to benefit, hence every verified John Jones gets his pay out and not a John Jones “duplicate” turning up at another location to beat the system.

The same goes for Drupattie Ramnarine being certified to receive her cash grant and not the same Drupattie Ramnaraine (The different spelling of her surname) turning up elsewhere to get a second pay out. The point I am making is, the photograph identification cancels out such situations occurring. So, there is nothing sinister about a verification process before a pay-out. It is not government securing votes before an election as the Opposition surmises, rather, it is an above-board process that seeks the cooperation of all involved to ensure that every man gets his just portion of the oil wealth.

Patience is virtue as government moves ahead with its large pay-out. They have begun with the old age pensioners and public servants, who are already in the database of persons, then a move over into the other sectors of our economy.

Regards

Neil Adams
