Good question, Prash. I can only assume that it was a PPP-regime decision not to pay Rai's pension.
Another thing, Ralph says: "I understand that Rai made an effort at reconciliation with Cheddi Jagan in 1992 but received no response."
Frankly speaking, Jagan was mean-spirited to rebuff Rai. A lot of party deserters crawled back to Freedom House in 1992 and they were accepted.
Rai just wanted to be a gentleman and show goodwill towards Jagan.
