AEA convened an all members' virtual meeting following the decision of the supreme Court in Petition No. E004 of 2023, KTGA, AEA vs NSSF & Others
to update them on the matter and advise on the way forward.
As members reverted to the old contribution levels, wit was observed that the NSSF Online return system had been updated and only allow returns to be filed at the Year 2 enhanced NSSF contribution level, as per a Notice issued by NSSF in January. This therefore was said would place members at risk of enforcement action for non-filing/non-compliance, especially in light of NSSF’s apparent determination to disregard the outcome of the Supreme Court.
It was therefore agreed that the AEA members should stand together and shall revert to the deductions prior to the implementation of the NSSF Act, 2013 i.e. Kes. 200 by employer and Kes. 200 by employee.
It was further agreed that the firm of Obura Mbeche and Company shall proceed to write a letter to NSSF to address the issue of remittance on the NSSF online portal.
