A total of $160 million is now being paid monthly to the 4,000 persons who have been employed under a government initiative as part-time workers in Region Six.
Regional Chairman David Armogan made the disclosure last Friday at the launch of the Berbice Expo and Trade Fair.
Each worker is receiving $40,000 monthly, and according to information gathered they have been placed at various government institutions throughout the region to improve services. Notably, health centres, markets, hospitals, and Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) have taken on the majority of the persons.
