Dear Editor,

Reference is made to a letter which appeared in the Stabroek News’ May 3 edition bearing the caption `Pensioners having hard time at Melanie NIS Office.’

Please be advised that Management is very concerned about the content stated therein and wishes to offer the following response:

  1. Members of staff are trained to deal with members of the public and are expected to do so in a professional manner.
  2. Employees are frequently reminded of their responsibilities and management’s expectation.
  3. This matter is currently being investigated and once breaches are found, the necessary corrective measures will be put in place to avoid such recurrences.

Please feel free to call 227-6851 or E-mail: nispublicrelations@yahoo.com or nis_relations@nis.org.gy for further discussion on this matter.

Yours faithfully,
