The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has urged employers nationwide to immediately halt salary deductions under the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Act, 2013.

In a statement, the society warned that organisations continuing to enforce the nullified framework risk legal consequences, including imprisonment.

"Continued deductions under a statutory framework declared unconstitutional create significant legal uncertainty regarding the legality of such deductions, accountability for funds collected, and the rights and remedies available should the ELRC judgment be affirmed," said LSK’s President Charles Kanjama.
