I dont think its useless.Anyone who has acted for an employer at the Industrial Court knows it is really benefitting employees...those surviving on the lower pay bracket though.

NSSF contributions, under the new NSFF Bill (2013) have been enhanced over NSSF Bill (2012) in ways that make the new Bill more than just contributions.

In effect if you are an employer pension contributions are to go up by approximately 6% of your wage bill.

Second, the definitions of employer and employee are very expanded. For instance employers means an employer with one or more than 1 employee and is required to contribute to the NSSF the employer contribution and deduct as well as remit the employees contribution. The definition of employee is very expanded right now.

Pension contributions are now pegged at a minimum of 12% of earnings.

Self employed tuko sawa with our personal pensions schemes; poleni huko NSSF!!! Hii pia ni ya shina ama? No wonder Odongo was thrown out haraka haraka mara hiyo hiyo!!!

Jokes aside, this thing will cripple employers wacha tu. and then ati 15% contibution to NSSF; boss

The proposal is 6% employer and 6% employee total 12%.Self employed persons are place in an awkward situation especially if they have employees. The way it looks the best is to push for improved management of NSSF and less circus. Individuals with occupational schemes or in personal pension plans have a partial opt-out option.
