About 700,000 employees losing savings to defaulting employers

In the current wave of amends, NSSF intends to recover sh164b from about 28,143 employers by the year-end, and sh30b between March 10 and May 11, supported by a waiver of the entire financial penalty.

According to the latest state of social protection report by the gender and labour ministry, 6.2% of Uganda’s working population (25.49 million) received at least one social protection benefit just like that provided by NSSF and the Public Service Pension Scheme.
