Dear Editor,

When we received our old-age pension vouchers for 2009 without the amount printed thereon, we felt the 2009 increase would have been realistic.

However, we have now learned the increase for 2009 would be three hundred dollars  − a most negligible sum.

How can this caring government that collects billions in VAT be so uncaring about retired Guyanese?

Yours faithfully,
RP Sukul and eleven others
