The Ministry of Social Protection, with support from the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has sanitised its database as part of the process to digitalise the old age pension service, the Government Information Agency said on Friday.
GINA said that the digitalisation project will see information technology being used to eliminate pension books, and establish a system where senior citizens will be allowed to use their National Identification (ID) cards to uplift their pension. The digitalisation of the pension process will be in full effect by December, GINA added.
