Confusion surrounds the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) after a Court of Appeal ruling on May 29, 2026, is being scrutinized for allegedly addressing the wrong application, impacting enhanced pension contributions.

• The dispute concerns the NSSF Act, 2013, which raised monthly contributions from Sh200 to up to Sh4,320.
• Key players include NSSF, the Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU), and Senior Counsel Fred Ngatia.
• NSSF and COTU claim the court ruled on an outdated application, not the intended joinder application, causing widespread confusion in the pension sector.
