It now appears that only half of the persons eligible for the much talked about $100,000 grant will receive it before yearend.
This is despite an assurance by President Irfaan Ali at a press conference earlier this month that most of the eligible will receive the grant before Christmas.
Ever since President Ali first made the announcement of the grant at a special sitting of Parliament on October 10 there has been confusion around the substance of the payout and also the process.
