Ex-Presidents’ Benefits Divert Resources | Guyana News

The Working People’s Alliance is rallying Guyanese to protest on July 6th against a controversial bill expanding lavish benefits for former presidents — including medical care, travel, and security — arguing it unfairly prioritizes elite perks over the needs of everyday citizens struggling with rising costs, unemployment, and underfunded public services. Executive member Kidackie Amsterdam warns the bill could strain the national budget and urges redirecting those funds to vital areas like teacher and nurse salaries, healthcare, disability support, and youth opportunities. The WPA is calling for peaceful, nationwide demonstrations to send a clear message: Guyana’s resources must serve all its people first.
