President Donald Ramotar yesterday announced an increase in the stipend for toshaos of Amerindian villages.
According to the Government Information Agency, President Ramotar, noting that the work of a Toshao is more about being in service to one’s community, said that Government has decided to raise the Toshaos from $20,000 to 30,000 per month.
He said also that the Deputy Toshao will be given a stipend of $15,000 and that the senior councillors will also benefit from an increase from $15,000 to 20,000.
