Double speak in NIS pension matter

Jan 06, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

Well, well the saga goes on!  The appeal in that NIS pension matter is given a double speak (so to speak). On one side, it is a criminal offence for employers’ not to remit deductions to NIS.  On the other side, and in this particular case, the employer was not a party to the case and if the ruling is allowed to stand NIS could become bankrupt (Newsroom Jan 3). Such legal logic and reasoning.

So the question is why didn’t the judge think and order the employer be joined to the case?  Was it because the evidence against the employer and state agency was overwhelming?  Is Mr. Zainul to be made collateral damage over a perceived legal technicality?

Why can’t NIS honour the court ruling and then sue the employer to recoup the entire judgement? Will justice be served in this matter during Mr. Zainul’s lifetime?

Sincerely,

Shamshun Mohamed
