The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has welcomed last Friday’s verdict by the court of appeal, allowing it to affect an increase in monthly deduction as outlined by the NSSF Act 2013. Three appellate judges Hannah Okwengu, Mohamed Warsame and John Mativo set aside a high court order in September last year, declaring the NSSF act 2013 unconstitutional, citing lack of public participation and non-concurrence by the senate during the legislative process.
