The Guyanese Head of State also pledged that the salaries of Community Service Officers (CSOs) will be increased and educational opportunities will be available to them so they can elevate themselves.

The President made these announcements at a public meeting in Moruca on Saturday.

President Ali opened up his address at this engagement focusing on the investments made by the government over the past five years for the country’s young population. He then focused on the development of Guyana’s Indigenous People and how the government is empowering this group.
