Granger promises National Veterans Department

Granger said, “A Veterans Act will put Veterans affairs on a sound footing for the first time in the history of the GDF.” Granger told the packed hall that APNU+AFC was committed to the following;

 

  • Veterans’ Commission: APNU+AFC will pass a ‘Veterans Act’ in Parliament and establish a permanent, full-time Commission to administer veterans’ affairs.

 

  • Veterans’ benefits: APNU+AFC will arrange for discounts on the cost of food and medicine at commercial enterprises and will provide books, snacks, transport and uniforms for veteran’s children to go to school.

 

  • Veterans’ pensions: APNU+AFC will increase the pensions of all veterans and lower the cost-of-living by reducing the value-added-tax on essential goods.

 

  • Veterans’ Trust: APNU+AFC will provide finance for a Trust which will assist veterans to gain access to land for housing and farming; continuing education and skills training; Employment; small enterprise development and welfare.

 

  • Age of retirement: APNU+AFC will review the age of retirement of all military personnel to allow for longer, satisfying and successful careers.

Granger thanked the Veterans for their service to Guyana and assured them that an APNU+AFC administration would be forward looking and urged the veterans to think seriously about investing in Guyana. Recalling his early days as an Officer in the GDF, Granger said that his military foundation had prepared him for service at the highest level.

The APNU and AFC should explain to all Guyanese voters why are they not qualified to the entitlements described above. Do not forget that voters are the ones who would foot the bill. These people are well fed and paid for what they do - sit down all day and do nothing, except stealing AK 47s and giving them to their criminal friends. Granger and Nagamootoo have now agreed to provide pay off the GDF for all the atrocities committed by them during the darkest days of Guyana. Do not forget that 99% of these people voted for the APNU the last election. I suppose it is pay back time. APNU and AFC Coalition is advocating for more corruption and they have the gall to say the the PPP is corrupted? This is indeed very very frightening.
