Given that he served both as Prime Minister and President of Guyana I wonder which pension he is entitled to. Will it be of that for a President or will it be of that for a Prime Minister?
A quick perusal of the relevant Acts seems to indicate he is indeed entitled to the Presidential pension and the facilities afforded to all Former Presidents.
He did accede to the Presidency in the substantive sense in 1997 though he wasn't elected.
The two Acts in question place no minimum requirement of presidential service or even prime ministerial service for entitlement to the full pension. These are terribly written laws.
Hope the tax payers in Guyana take note.
I would even go so far as to say that 1 single day of service as substantive (elected or acceded) President entitles you to the full pension. And I'm assuming that Acting President is excluded by only common sense and custom because the Acts don't even include language to expressly bar them.
Same for Prime Minister.
This is just deliberately badly drafted. No one could ever draft such terrible Acts in error.
