The Kenya Editors Guild (KEG), in collaboration with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), convened a media engagement roundtable on Thursday at the Sarova Stanley Hotel.
The forum, themed “Strengthening Accuracy and Trust in Reporting on Kenya’s National Social Security Fund,” brought together business journalists and media practitioners to explore strategies for accurate, context-driven reporting on social security, financial, and policy issues.
KEG CEO Linda Bach reaffirmed the Guild’s role as a neutral platform for open, fact-based discussion. She emphasized KEG’s commitment to upholding professional journalism standards, promoting accountability, and supporting informed public debate.
Speaking at the event, NSSF Managing Trustee David Koross outlined the Fund’s long-term strategic vision, emphasizing capital preservation, sustainable growth, and enhanced member benefits.
Koross detailed NSSF’s diversified investment portfolio, digital transformation efforts, and initiatives to expand coverage, particularly within the informal sector.
He highlighted recent achievements, including faster claims processing, increased membership, and improved financial performance, stressing the importance of public understanding in building trust and ensuring informed discourse on social security matters.
The roundtable provided journalists with direct access to NSSF leadership to clarify facts, address misconceptions, and foster constructive dialogue.
Participants underscored the media’s critical role in translating complex policy and financial information into accurate, accessible reporting for the public.
