As such, he urged each Guyanese to open bank accounts- a venture made much easier now that local banks are allowing persons to open accounts online much easier.“So let us use this period, and we are using this period also to put the mechanism in place, and finalise the system of delivery,” Dr. Ali urged.The post Cash grants for households, various groups will be announced before year-end – President appeared first on News Room Guyana.
