The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) board of trustees has been barred from holding any meeting, pending the determination of a petition filed Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu).
In a petition filed in December, the workers umbrella body accused Labour Cabinet secretary Simon Chelugui of leaving out one of Cotu’s nominee when it gazetted the board of trustees on October 28. Cotu says in court documents that it is entitled to two nominees to the board and the minister did not give explanation for not gazetting the second nominee.
