Residents of Annandale and surrounding East Coast Demerara communities yesterday had  matters pertaining to the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) dealt with.

According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs,  Anil Nandlall SC spearheaded the exercise, in keeping with a directive from President Irfaan Ali.

DPI said that scores of residents had raised their concerns with President Ali during a recent visit to the East Coast at which time he issued the instruction for the area’s parliamentary representative to return.
