Civil aviation workers payout now approved

Guyana Civil Aviation Autho-rity (GCAA) employees are to begin receiving the promised $18 million payout today after it gained Cabinet’s nod last week.

The matter was taken to Cabinet after Minister of Transport Robeson Benn halted the payout, citing non-approval from him and Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh as well as the fact that the authority’s ability to pay would have to be taken into consideration.
