Pensioners across Guyana will benefit from additional relief as President Dr. Irfaan Ali late Monday night announced three additional relief packages totalling $2.6 billion.

And, in total, the President said that this is expected to place a total of $1.6 billion in disposable income in the hands of elderly Guyanese.
