PRESIDENT, Dr Irfaan Ali has instructed the representative of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) to “fix it now” after hearing multiple concerns by Region Two residents during Wednesday’s Presidential outreach. One of the resounding issues raised was the challenge with payment remitted to the insurance scheme. President Ali said all Guyanese should be treated fairly and that all agencies and government offices should be working to enhance their lives. The NIS head, Holly Greaves, assured the President that the issues would be addressed forthwith as she subsequently met with the aggrieved residents.

The outreach is aimed at reducing bureaucracy and enhancing collaboration among various agencies to address concerns at the community level.
Representatives from the Office of the President, the Ministry of Housing and Water, the Central Housing and Planning Authority, the Ministry of Foreign affairs and International Cooperation, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL), the National Insurance Scheme (NIS), the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), the Ministry of Health, the Guyana Police Force and regional officials, among others, met with the President at the Regional Democratic Council, in Anna Regina, Region Two.
