Speaking at the opening of GuyExpo 2025 at the Sophia Exhibition Centre, Ali dismissed the criticisms and told what he called “detractors” to back off.

“You don’t need to remind us about our commitments—whether it’s cash grants, incentives, subsidies,” Ali declared. “We know what our commitments are, and we are going to deliver every one of them, faster, better, greater.”

He added: “Find your place. Stay in your lane. Don’t get beside yourself. Understand what level you are boxing at. Build your reputation before you come to the heavyweight.”

WIN, led by businessman Azruddin Mohamed, has been consistently calling out the administration for failing to deliver the cash grants promised on the campaign trail. Mohamed even went as far as offering to hand over his controversial Lamborghini to Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, but only if the government fulfills its promise to distribute the grants before Christmas.

Jagdeo, at the swearing-in of new parliamentarians, assured the public that the grants will come, but stopped short of giving a date.

Across social media, Guyanese continue to ask the burning question:
“When are we getting the cash grant?”

With Christmas nearing, expectations—and frustration are mounting as citizens await a firm announcement.
