Guyana’s Honorary Consul globally are not paid a salary or given any tax waivers and do their the work almost voluntarily, making the best of their personal time and resources for which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is grateful, Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Greenidge says.
“In terms of pay you give them a stipend, and the stipend is in the region of US$500 (per month) to cover expenses, unless the expenses are exceptional and $500 is not something to shout about,” Minister Greenidge told a press conference yesterday.
Further, he added, “None of them is perfect, more so that you don’t pay the staff.”
