The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) have announced plans to implement a recurring cash transfer programme called the “Good Governance Dividend” if elected to govern. This initiative aims to deliver substantial financial relief to ordinary Guyanese, particularly in the light of rising inflation and living costs.

The announcement, made yesterday during their weekly press conference, followed what the opposition described as a “knee-jerk reaction” from the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP), which recently unveiled a cash grant amid increasing pressure. The PNCR/APNU accused the PPP of neglecting the economic struggles faced by citizens and claimed that the government’s recent actions reveal a lack of genuine planning and a tendency to favour political allies.
