Starting next year, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) plans to process pension claims within 24 hours. This significant acceleration aims to reduce the current processing times, which range from 7 to 28 days.

• The target is to process pension claims within 24 hours.
• Key figure is Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua, who announced the change.
• Also at the May 1, 2026, Labour Day celebrations, COTU-K boss Francis Atwoli called for increased worker and employer representation on the NSSF board.
