$100k cash grant a representation of a caring government
Dec 28, 2024
Dear Editor,
The $100.000 Cash Grant is one representation of a caring government giving back to the People of this country in a tangible way part of their sovereign wealth. I say one representation, in that government’s initiatives is multifaceted, taking into focus massive development in many sectors, key areas include infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture and many other transformational features sweeping the length and breadth of this country. It is a significant way of showing what proper planning and the execution of those plans are; kudos to the PPP/C Government!
This is a marked contrast to what an APNU/AFC Coalition Government did when they were in office, they after two (2) months, raised their salaries by 50%, while introducing 200 new taxes on the people who voted them into power, if this is not what we commonly call “peeing in one’s eye and calling it rain,” then what is? The Coalition’s performance in office was a blatant manifestation of how little emphasis was placed on people and much on themselves, something they would have to live up to, and one we would not forget.
But I digressed, so let me get back to our main discussion of the cash grant, its verification and disbursement. From my vantage point I can see one temporary difficulty, that is the registration of the recipients of the grant. What we see is a mad rush to get registered, and persons from other regions are travelling to those regions where registration is ongoing to get themselves registered. This is not an abnormal occurrence, because you are talking about cash – something that people need – and everyone wants to know that they are instantly locked in. We cannot blame them for that.
So, what authorities will see is a moderate, if not drastic increase in the allocations for the various regions where registration is in progress. Government’s logistical data of individual regions would see change in numbers, for example persons from Regions 5 and 6 getting registered in Region 4; this is sure to happen. I think government would have learnt from the little hiccups that came along the way with the present cash give-out and make the necessary adjustments for future disbursements.
Respectfully Submitted
