Merely days after talks about an increase in Old Age Pension and the salaries of public servants surfaced from the main Opposition camp, the ruling party, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has joined the ‘bandwagon,’ stating that it will also deliver raises in that regard.
During a press briefing yesterday, PPP Executive and Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy said that by the time the 2015 fiscal budget is presented, pensioners would see an increase in the Old Age Pension from $12,500 to $15,000.

No pension for Foreigners,law changed in 2016,you have to reside in Guyana.

I was telling my sister when i was there in 2016,i will apply and give her the money,while in our discussion the law was changed.

43 yrs living there gone down the drain.

Old Age Pension only for Guyanese residing in Guyana, govt says that’s the law!

elderly have benefitted from government’s exemption from paying travel tax, when traveling overseas on a Guyanese passport. They are also exempted from paying for a driver’s license and passport fees.

Wonder how many pensioners would benefit from this? A Very poor excuse for stiffing the elderly.

Bai, if you give a Guyanese a $500.00(GY) bill, they ask if this all you get. So the $2 is like having a lil jill compared to a big jill. Go figure what the $2 can buy.

Make sure you book a return passage. I am sure somebody already claimed your benefits and your name is not in the records as paying NIS. This happened to two of my brothers.
