According to President Ali, the government is working to enhance the welfare packages of all categories of workers gradually. This approach is designed to foster sustainable wealth and boost the net value of all Guyanese. “This government will ensure that the total package is the best welfare package they can have in the region. We are committed to this, but you have to have patience. Coming on to the end of this year, we are going to have a total evaluation by category of workers, so that we can have an intervention that is even more structured and that will bring more benefits. But, we all have to give a little in this incremental development process. In the process of this year, an evaluation will be made for all categories of our workers,” the head of state pledged. Based on this tremendous growth that is unfolding, the president said there is no need for teachers to ‘push against a hurricane’, as the country’s development trajectory promises bountiful returns for every Guyanese. “You do not need to push at the PPP/C government to improve your welfare. We will do it unconditionally,” the president noted. 10 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 11, ISSUE 02
