The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) is urging continued compliance with enhanced National Social Security Fund (NSSF) deductions, despite recent confusion stemming from court rulings. COTU insists the NSSF Act, 2013 remains valid and enforceable following a Court of Appeal judgment on February 3, 2023.

• COTU maintains that workers and employers should continue contributing under the NSSF Act, 2013 framework.
• Key player: COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli issued a notice reinforcing this position.
• Context: The stance comes after a May 29, 2026 Court of Appeal decision declined to suspend a previous ruling that declared parts of the Act unconstitutional.
