COTU Insists Enhanced NSSF Deductions Remain Valid Despite Legal Uncertainty

COTU, through Secretary General Francis Atwoli, defended the enhanced NSSF deductions, warning private employers attempting to undermine the system. The union cited a Court of Appeal ruling from February 3, 2023, to support the current contribution framework. Despite a recent May 29, 2026 ruling that declined to suspend a decision challenging aspects of the NSSF Act 2013, COTU insists on compliance, accusing the private insurance industry of spreading misinformation.
