A contributor’s clash with NIS

May 18, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
Please publish this letter which is in reply to a letter published in the Daily Chronicle’s 11th May 2017 edition, captioned ‘NIS responds to claim by pensioner’. This letter was written by the Public Relations Officer of NIS.
Mr. Editor you and every Guyanese including Government officials are aware of the contention between me (Cramer) and the administration of NIS. The PRO’s letter stated the following:
1. NIS has substantial evidence to support their claims that I worked with Willem’s Timbers Ltd.
2. No evidence to show that I worked with Toolsie Persaud Ltd as I (Cramer) claimed.
3. Investigation revealed that I am known by three names.
4. Management is of the opinion that there is an urgent need for dialogue with me and has written to me inviting me to visit their NIS head office.
The NIS administration is being deceptive with facts. I now reply to their letter as follows.
1. I never worked with Willem’s Timber Ltd. post 1969.
2. I submitted official correspondence to NIS from TPL human resources consultant, Mr. Roberston Bustwick verifying I was employed with TPL from 1969-1974, 1978-1990, and 2002-2004 (19 years/988 contributions). Along with pay slips for my latter years of employment showing NIS and PAYE deductions were made on behalf of the two institutions.
3. I submitted a copy of an affidavit to NIS which stated that I am Hubert Joseph Montgomery Cramer known as Montgomery Seon same referred to on my NIS card.
4. I specifically informed NIS that there is no postal or telephone service for Kaburi Village 72 Miles Potaro Road. I named a contact person with telephone number and email address as my representative.
NIS has evidence that I was employed by TPL but unwisely published alternative facts, perhaps for their own interest; embracing criminality punishing honesty. Mr. Editor I will be visiting NIS shortly at their request, hoping the letter is real and not fictitious like the one the PRO mentioned in her editorial on March 22, 2017. Also, I expect NIS to honour my travelling expenses, etc.
Thanking you.
Hubert Cramer
