Alliance for Change Leader Khemraj Ramjattan yesterday called for the minimum wage to be moved to $100,000 as he said that is the only way the average Guyanese can survive the rising cost of living.
The current national minimum wage is $44,200 but a proposal has been made to Cabinet by a tripartite committee for this to be upped to $60,000.
Ramjattan, who is an APNU+AFC parliamentarian was at the time contributing to the debate on the $552.9 billion 2022 budget in the National Assembly where he knocked the government for ignoring the working class and catering more to the business community.
