The Fund revealed that this ambition aligns with the policy of expanding social security coverage in the country. This policy will enable more people to save for the future following some amendments of the NSSF Act, 2022.
Some of these amendments include mandatory contributions by all workers regardless of the enterprise’s size.
“I am pleased to note that since the law was passed, we have seen over 3,200 employers with less than 5 employees register with, and contribute the NSSF,” acting NSSF managing director Patrick Ayota said on Tuesday.
He said the fund realized a number of employed people that are not registered with the fund. He made these remarks during the launch of employer registration at Worker’s House in Kampala on Tuesday.
The exercise of registering with NSSF for all employers commenced in March and will stretch out to April 28, 2023.
“We call upon unregistered employers across the country to take advantage of the next 30 days to regularise their status with the fund and avoid the penalty associated with registering late,” Ayota remarked.
Late registration will get a penalty of 10% of the Shs75,000 each employee is supposed to contribute to the fund.

![[dropcap]P[/dropcap]resident Yoweri Museveni is reportedly disturbed by the high number of cases of land grabbing involving officials from the State House and the Office of the President. This was revealed on Friday by Ms Phiona Barungi, the State House Special Assistant on General Duties while meeting land-grabbing victims in Luwero district. Barungi said the president had been lately overwhelmed by complaints about State House officials tormenting scores of people, especially in central Uganda. “There’s just too many complaints about State House employees,” she said. “We have become a big problem, even the president himself, who gave us these jobs is concerned… He does not know what to do.” “He sent us to serve the people but we are now serving our stomachs. It has gotten to a point where almost every state house official is involved in a land wrangle somewhere.” In a meeting held in Zirobwe village in Bukyimu sub-county in Bamunakika, Barungi said her office was being bombarded daily by helpless people. Some of these are facing death threats from powerful people. “Yesterday I had just landed from Turkey, I even was feeling sick. I found a man at the airport waiting for me,” Barungi told the meeting. “He told me that a man connected to Gen Muhoozi Kairerugaba was hunting him to kill him and take his land. When I asked around, it turned out that this man has no connection to Gen Muhoozi. He is just a serial land grabber.” In the meeting, the residents singled out a number of people who have been harassing them. These also went ahead destroying their crop gardens, and metting out all manner of violence to force them out of their land. The Minister of Lands Hon Sam Mayanja during the meeting ordered an immediate arrest of two of these land grabbers. They include Mary Babirye and Rasmus Kagaba.
