The National social security fund has collected over 30billion shillings from the amnesty campaign, which has been on going to encourage defaulting employers to register their workers with the fund.

The managing director NSSF Richard Byarugaba says over 1000 companies registered.

Byarugaba made the remarks while announcing new innovations for the fund.

He says in the new innovations which have been introduced, customers will be able to access contribution balances using their mobile phones.

He says the new innovation will enable the fund to save over 50 million shillings, which the institution has been spending, on the service each year.

He says the introduction of the new services is intended to encourage transparency, adding that customers will also be able to use face book to interact with the institution by giving suggestions to the institution.
