Over 16,000 public assistance recipients countrywide will soon be able to collect their grants from various post offices, according to Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security Trevor Thomas.
He said that some of the books had already been delivered to the ministry, the Government Information Agency (GINA) reported on Friday.
According to Thomas, social services officers were currently working on the distribution schedule and then members of the public would be advised about the location where they could obtain their coupons. Thomas said also that persons should show up at the locations with proper identification in order to save time.
Public assistance is being given to Guyanese who are said to be living in difficult circumstances, particularly children below the age of 18, GINA said.
