GERALDINE SSALI: NSSF should stop trying to save East Africa when the real owners of the money are crying for help At the request of an unnamed Member of Parliament, Ms. Geraldine Ssali, the former Deputy Managing Director of NSSF wrote an opinion regarding NSSF’s claims of inability to pay its members a partial 20% to ward off Covid-19 related financial difficulties, even when there is an enabling law.

Here below, we reproduce the letter in verbatim with minor adjustments.
