Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet for Administration, Dr. Oliver Kalabo, has called for sustained public education on the National Pensions Scheme Act, 2026, to ensure citizens fully understand and benefit from the progressive reforms introduced under the new legislation.

Speaking during the Africa Public Service Day commemorations, Dr. Kalabo said the Act represents a significant step in Government’s efforts to strengthen social security and improve retirement protection for members across the country.

“Continued public engagement will enable citizens to better appreciate the opportunities and benefits provided under the new law, including measures aimed at expanding social security coverage and enhancing the sustainability of pension benefits,” Dr. Kalabo stated.

He urged the Ministry to sustain momentum by reaching more workers, employers, and retirees with information about the reforms.

Ministry of Labour and Social Security Principal Public Relations Officer, Mwaka Ndawa, reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring that information about the new Act is widespread, enabling citizens to make informed decisions on early retirement preparations.
