Too many of Guyana’s elderly—our parents, grandparents, and neighbors—have spent their lives working hard, raising families, and building this nation brick by brick, only to find themselves struggling in retirement. The rising cost of food, medicine, electricity, and basic essentials has made life increasingly difficult for seniors living on a modest pension. APNU’s promise to raise the old age pension to $75,000 per month is more than a policy—it’s a statement of respect. It’s about honouring those who came before us, giving them the comfort and dignity they deserve in their final chapters. No elder in Guyana should have to choose between paying a bill and buying a meal. This is how we say thank you—with action.
