Government may not face a class action suit over its handling of the finances of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) after all.That is the view of spokesperson for The Group of Disgruntled Barbadians Charlie Lewis who told Barbados TODAY that the fear of victimisation may prevent interested people from going forward with the case, even though they had been advised that they had “good legal standing” to take action against the NIS’ Board of Directors.The group had contemplated taking the action after it announced earlier this month that the $4 billion NIS was in danger of being depleted within the next 12 to 20 years if urgent action was not taken.Lewis, well known as Charlie Spice, said that while the initial group had almost doubled in size as more people expressed interest in being part of the case, quite a few of them either worked in Government or had children who worked in the public sector and they were afraid of being victimised.
