    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you remove employers and employees from the NSSF, you will no longer have the NSSF. The money that is at the NSSF is from contributions of employers and employees. The reason we passed the NSSF Act of 2013 was to ensure that all the Kenyan workers, poor or rich, high or low class, informal or formal, were entitled to the right to social security as provided by the Constitution at Section 43(e). We want the NSSF to be stable. When we increased funding going to the NSSF, we want this funding to be well managed, so that as an informal, or Jua Kali, worker making contributions to the NSSF, is assured that I will receive my money back. While I was away, I heard that a Cabinet Secretary had removed workers and employers representatives from the NSSF board. How do you remove the key stakeholders of the Fund from the Fund? When you remove workers and employers, essentially you are saying that only the Government is in the Fund. The Government is not a contributor to the Fund.
