-as Ministry of Finance acknowledges challenges

The distribution of the government’s $100,000 cash grant to remaining regions is still being worked on  even as registration for eligible recipients continues.

A representative from the Ministry of Finance (MoF), speaking with Stabroek News yesterday, indicated that while efforts are being made to expedite the process, certain challenges have delayed its completion.

The official said that progress has been made in several regions, with regions One and Two already nearing completion. “We are almost done with Region One, with no incidents reported. We plan to use the same mechanism to complete the exercise in Region Two and beyond.”
