Kabaka has underscored the need for pension funds to serve their members
diligently so as to attract more members to join the Fund in this era
of competition.
The Minister made the remarks in her key note
address when closing a two-day Public Service Pension Fund’s annual
meeting in Dar es Salaam over the weekend.
“I have been attending various meetings organised
by Pension Funds in the country so as to learn more on their functions
and how they serve their members,” she said.
The Minister said she was overwhelmed by the
attendance of so many members from across the country and urged PSPF to
continue with efforts of involving their members in their undertakings.
She further urged the management to continue with
their efforts of collecting money and investing in various development
projects for the welfare of their members.
“I assure you that I have taken all suggestions and
requests to the government and my ministry will do whatever possible to
act on those recommendations in time,” she said.
Minister Kabaka urged PSPF management to use the
media outlets to disseminate information about the Fund to its members
so as to avoid misunderstandings.
“Sell your services through advertisements so that many people are attracted to join the Fund out of their own will,” she said.
She also urged Social Security Regulatory Authority
(SSRA) to involve all its stakeholders, hear their views and act on
their suggestions.
On his part, George Yambesi, the PSPF Chairman said
the purpose of organising such a meeting was to educate its members on
how PSPF functions and ensure them that their money is safe.
“We have received so many feedbacks from our members and we are going to act on them immediately,” said Yambesi.
