The Board of Trustees relies on Trustees Act, RBA Regulations, and Trust Deed and Rules to guide, manage and transact business of the Scheme on a continued basis. The assets of the Scheme consist of all contributions remitted by the Sponsor and members and any income earned from investment. Trustees hold these assets and income therefrom, in trust, for the respective members of the Scheme.

The Board of Trustees together with the Sponsor have made tangible achievement in the management, growth and development of the Scheme, over the years, in spite of prevailing challenges. For example, the Fund has grown tremendously from Ksh 6.6 million in 1991 to Ksh 9.98 billion in August, 2017.


Other achievements include:

  • High return on member account
  • Enabled members acquire property
  • Enhanced their benefits through annual investment returns
  • Benefits are paid in good time
  • Assisting dependants and beneficiaries of deceased members and retirees

Challenges

  • Changes in government legislation and policy
  • Unpredictable global economic environment
  • Potential splitting of the Fund due to emerging Constituent Colleges
  • Political instability
  • High death in service

Given these achievements and challenges, it is imperative for the Board of Trustees to develop a strategic plan in order to guide the operations of the scheme for the next five years.
