    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 13 and substituting therefore, the following new clause 13— “The National Social Security Fund Act is amended: (a) in Section 20 by inserting the following new sub-section immediately after sub-Section 1 — (1A) an employer shall pay the contribution under sub-section 1 on the ninth day of each month or on such later date as the Board may, in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary, prescribe; (b) in section 27 by deleting the words “within one month after the end of the month in which the last day of the contribution period to which it falls” appearing in subsection 1 and substituting therefore the following “on or before the prescribed day on which the payment in respect of the any month is due”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Committee concurs with the proposed change of the date for remittance of NSSF deductions on the ninth of every month. The NSSF Act provides that the time and manner of payment for self-employed contribution is to be prescribed by the Cabinet Secretary in the regulations. However, the Act is silent on the exact date of the remittance of mandatory contributions under Section 20. As it is presently, the Act grants a grace period of one month within which employers are to remit the contributions. A uniform date is proposed for remittance of other statutory payroll deductions, including National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) contribution, through the Kenya Revenue Authority The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
