Nairobi, Kenya: Labour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambi has appointed Charity Seleina Kisotu as Chairperson of National Social Security Fund (NSSF) board of trustees.

The appointment of Kisotu, who was seconded by COTU to the workers’ pension body, takes effect from February 2, 2015.

Ms Kisotu replaces Cornel Nyang’un who was dropped after he fell out with his former employer Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) in 2013. Kambi had been reluctant to act on the workers’ union request to appoint a replacement.

Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli has claimed that Nyang’un was involved in a Sh115 million fraud on the lobby’s bank account.
