Officials from the Uganda Retirement Benefits Regulatory Authority (URBRA) have confirmed that the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) does not possess a title for the land on which its headquarters, the Workers’ House sits.
The Members of the select committee of Parliament set up to inquire into the alleged mismanagement at NSSF have learned that NSSF is considering the possibility of processing a special Land Title deed for the Workers' House.
The Chief Executive Officer of Uganda Retirement Benefits Authority, Martin Nsubuga told the committee that the title deed of the land on which the building was constructed was being held by ALCON, a firm that was contracted to build the Workers' House.
The MPs are concerned that even if a special title is issued to the Fund it would be encumbered.
The officials led by the Chief Executive Officer, Martin Nsubuga were this morning appearing before the select committee investigating the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) saga.
Nsubuga has revealed that the said land title is in the possession of Alcon, a firm with which NSSF had a dispute but the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Fund.
URBRA director legal services, Rita Nansasi has however told the committee that the Fund is pushing to obtain a special title for the land at the NSSF headquarters. Officials from NSSF have also confirmed to the committee that efforts are on to acquire a special title.
The committee commenced the inquiry this week and so far ,the board members of NSSF, current management, and the two workers’ unions have given their input into the inquiry.

Nansasi told the committee that the title held by Alcon was not of any threat since a caveat had been issued on the same by the Fund.
