Dear  Editor,
I have been looking at the TV programme ‘NIS and You’ and I have to say that what is being discussed is far from reality. The programme is excellent stuff for propaganda, but it seems that those persons on the programme are not aware of the reality, or are aware but continue to discuss issues in a vaccum.

My problem with the NIS office is one in which they cannot give an account of my contributions over a number of years, even though I was working and NIS was deducted from my salary. Why should I be made to suffer for somebody’s dishonesty? I did not have to go and pay my monthly contributions to the NIS office; the contributions were deducted from my salary even before I received it at the end of each month. So, it is not my fault that the NIS office cannot find my contribution, and I should not be made to suffer.

I would like to be advised on the way forward. I have already submitted authentic letters saying that I was always employed from the period 1983 to 2009.

Yours faithfully,
