The National Social Security Authority (NSSA) is currently engaged in a strategic reorganisation and restructuring exercise which has led to its Board being dissolved, a Cabinet Minister has said.

Speaking through a press statement yesterday, Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, Professor Paul Mavima said, “NSSA is currently engaged in a strategic reorganisation and restructuring exercise which has been necessitated by the need to respond to emerging issues in the world of work and align its mandate with the national development agenda. Accordingly, the NSSA Board has been dissolved with immediate effect to pave way for this transformation.”

The Minister also said his Ministry was in sincere gratitude to members of the outgoing Board for their contribution to NSSA during their term of office.

“The Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare wishes to express its most sincere gratitude to members of the outgoing Board for their contribution to NSSA during their term of office. In the meantime, a three-member Interim Board will oversee the administration of the Authority while a substantive Board will be constituted within three months,” said the Minister.
