The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) is warning employers against continuing to deduct higher National Social Security Fund (NSSF) contributions, following a court ruling that suspended the NSSF Act, 2013.

• Employers risk legal action and liability claims if they ignore the court order and continue deductions above the old rate.
• LSK President Charles Kanjama stated that employers must revert to the former Ksh200 monthly rate or get employee consent for higher deductions.
• This comes after the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) advised employers to maintain the higher rates, citing operational challenges and existing agreements.
