Lawyer moves to court to challenge hiked NSSF deductions

The government’s bid to augment revenue through the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) encountered a setback after Attorney Ndegwa Maina petitioned the court to halt the proposed heightened deductions scheduled for implementation in February 2024.

In a filing submitted to the High Court, Ndegwa urgently requested the case’s certification as a matter of priority. Key officials, such as Labour Cabinet Secretary Florence Bore and Social Protection Principal Secretary Joseph Mogosi Motari, have been identified as respondents by Ndegwa.

Additionally, respondents encompass entities such as the NSSF Board and Attorney General Justin Muturi. In his assertion before the High Court, Ndegwa contended that the government’s decision to augment deductions was misguided, particularly given the prevailing challenges faced by numerous Kenyans grappling with elevated living costs.

He further communicated to the court that salaried individuals in Kenya were already encumbered by various statutory deductions.

“Burdened Kenyans have minimal earning capacity, and unless this honorable court intervenes, the employed cadre of Kenyans will continue to suffer immensely,” he told the Milimani-based court.

If the High Court rejects Ndegwa’s petition, Kenyans are set to incur new deductions ranging from KES 420 to KES 1,740. This outcome is a consequence of the enforcement of the 3rd Schedule outlined in the NSSF Act Cap. 45 of 2013. The schedule incrementally elevates mandatory pension contributions by employees, determined by earnings limits.

NSSF contributions will increase from KES 200.
