Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Nigel Dharamlall has said the distribution of the $25,000 household COVID-19 cash grant is due to resume soon under the second phase of the initiative.
“The first phase was finished and we are in the process now of beginning the second phase. Many of the region’s pink forms have already been evaluated and audited. They will begin in earnest distribution [in] the second phase, to fulfil those gaps that the pink forms had to record,” Dharamlall was quoted as telling the Department of Public Information (DPI) in an interview.
Where households were not given the grant, their details were taken by the distribution team for verification.
