COTU Boss Francis Atwoli Supports Ruto’s Bid To Increase NSSf Deduction

The Central Organisation of Trade Unions in Kenya has supported the increment of NSSF deduction from Sh200 to 6 per cent of the gross salary earned as captured in the NSSF Act.

In a statement on Tuesday, COTU secretary general Francis Atwoli said the Sh200 deduction is the lowest in East Africa and critically inadequate.

“We fully support the increment in NSSF deduction from the current Sh200 to a 6 per cent rate. This increase has been long overdue considering it is not just the lowest in East Africa but also has been in COTU’s view,” he said.
