AFC to table motion for full inquiry into NIS

-after complaints by Blairmont sugar workers

By Stabroek staff | 16 Comments | Local | Wednesday, March 7, 2012

The AFC will move a motion in Parliament for a full inquiry into the National Insurance Scheme (NIS), the party announced yesterday, saying that dissatisfaction with its operations was highlighted by aggrieved Blairmont sugar workers.

The AFC’s Region Five Management Committee (RMC) last Sunday met with some of the sugar workers at Ithaca Government School ground, West Bank Berbice, and in a release the party said almost all of them had problems with the NIS, including large portions of their records being missing, which seems to be the norm nationally.

This will be a good move if the motion is approved in Parliament. Remember the people in charge of keeping the records and maintaining order are primarily AFC/PNC supporters. I doubt the AFC/PNC parliamentarians will vote for an inquiry which will expose their supporters to ridicule and potential firings. hahahahahah

Bg we are in 2012....PPP was in Power for 20 years.

If in 1992 (20 years ago) the PPP inherited NIS with 100% PNC supporters...

are you telling it it is still the same today?????

And if it is ......can you understand why Berbicians and PPP supporters are fed up with them after giving them power for the last 20 years.....and they still blaming PNC......although Roger Luncheon is the Chairman of NIS, and Nanda Gopaul, Ralph Ramkarran and Donald Ramotar not doing anything to fix the Problems in 20 years.

If it took them 20 years to discover the problem.....how many more years will it take for themto fix it.
