The Ministry of Social Protection approached the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) to disaggregate the information of all persons who are 65 and over from the national voter’s list in order to ensure that all pensioners are in receipt of their old age pension, according to Minister of Social Protection Volda Lawrence.
“The information will be used by the Ministry to ensure that all pensioners receive their pensions,” Lawrence told the National Assembly yesterday, in response to a question from PPP/C Chief Whip Gail Teixeira.
