APNU MP Volda Lawrence has dubbed the government’s proposed budget “anti-poor,” saying that while it signals growth in some areas, it has little to help the most vulnerable in society.
The $208.8B budget blueprint was presented by Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh under the theme, “Overcoming Challenges Together, Accelerating Gains for Guyana,” but Lawrence told the National Assembly on Thursday that some of the most vulnerable groups, such as the poor, children with disabilities and teenage mothers, are unable to overcome the challenges they face.
