In light of Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo’s revelation that the anticipated 8,000 temporary workers will be paid $40,000 for ten days of work per month, the Opposition is pressing even harder for information relating to the programme.
In March, Jagdeo announced that the government will be creating some 8,000 temporary jobs across the country to assist persons to cope with the rising cost of living. Ever since, he has been touring the country announcing specific numbers of jobs for various regions.
