Employed Kenyans to contribute 1% to Unemployment Insurance Fund

[Cassey Tash]

The government of Kenya has released a Post Covid-19 Economic Recovery Strategy which if passed will be able to cushion all individuals who were affected by Covid-19 economically.

Several Kenyans lost their jobs due to the pandemic outbreak, businesses were shut and investors withdrew from several investments in the country.

In order to cushion all Kenyans who were affected by the Pandemic, a post Covid-19 Economic recovery strategy proposes an unemployment Insurance Fund which will be funded by employed Kenyans.

The statement states that every employed Kenyan will contribute 1% of their salary to the fund and their employers will contribute 2% of their income.

The Unemployment Insurance Fund will cushion all registered unemployed Kenyans inorder to feed their families and friends. The fund will help when one is in a financial distress.

Once one is unemployed, the fund that they were contributing while employed will help them as they look for other places of employment.

Once again the Treasury takes the easy target and hammers people in formal employment; on top of all the other nonsense they have and will continue to load on us.
