Dear Editor,
Prime Minister Mark Phillips made the announcement that there would be an addition to the cash grant payout, verbatim, “The cash grant would be more than the last payout,” that sentiment was re-echoed by President Ali, when he said there would be a bright Christmas 2025. These promises were made during the runup to the September 1st Election, however, there has never been an announcement of the payout, nor was there any clear indication as to the real cash total to the payout that is to be made.
Now, we are fast approaching two months since that promise was made and persons are of eager anticipation awaiting the day for the announcement of that real sum of money. As it 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 payout 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 payout, on or before Christmas, because the PPP/C Government never promises anything they cannot deliver. We are waiting!
Respectfully submitted,
Neil Adams

Hard Truths by GHK Lall (Kaieteur News) – When President Ali talks about “sacred trust”, clearly, he is a leader floating in his own spaceship.
