Minister of Social Cohesion, Dr George Norton and Commonwealth Games Gold medalist, Troy Doris have both agreed that an incentive scheme for standout athletes must be put in place expeditiously.
Norton and Doris voiced this opinion yesterday when the latter paid a courtesy call on the Minister at his Main Street office.
According to Norton, a structured system must be put in place for local athletes to be appropriately rewarded for their performances. Unlike other Caribbean nations such as Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica, Guyana does not have such a system in place.
