The government is taking action in response to reports of fraudulent pension book activities, possibly involving duplicated books, which may be linked to organized criminal networks.
Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday confirmed at a press conference that police are actively investigating the matter, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding pensioners’ benefits.
“Some of the books may have been duplicated by individuals, and we are concerned that pensioners might not get their due payments,” Jagdeo explained. “We’ve asked the police to investigate and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.”
