A lobby has moved to the High Court seeking to halt the enforcement of enhanced NSSF contribution rates, arguing that the Fund’s directive is unconstitutional, unlawful and defies a Court of Appeal ruling and has plunged millions of workers and employers into uncertainty.
The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK), which has sued NSSF and the government, maintains that employers should revert to the previous NSSF regime, which provided for a flat monthly contribution of Sh200, pending the hearing of the appeal.
In a constitutional petition filed before the Constitutional and Human Rights Division of the High Court, COFEK wants the court to quash NSSF's public notice issued on June 5, 2026, titled "Clarification on the Status of NSSF Contributions" and bar the Fund from enforcing the directive to revert.
