MP Kimani Kuria has defended increased NSSF deductions, attributing the current pension crisis to decades of mismanagement by past governments. He argues the reforms are crucial for securing the retirement future of Kenyan workers.

• The reforms aim to fix historical pension mismanagement dating back to previous administrations, including Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, Mwai Kibaki, and Uhuru Kenyatta.
• The increased NSSF contributions involve a phased rollout, with Year 4 rates now implemented, including a maximum monthly contribution of Ksh12,960.
• The government is also considering a pension system overhaul allowing workers access to a portion of their savings before retirement.
