The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has announced plans to invest workers’ pension savings in large-scale infrastructure and real estate projects as part of efforts to grow returns and speed up benefits payments.
Under the plan, NSSF is considering injecting up to Ksh 30 billion into the Rironi–Mau Summit road project, a move expected to generate sustainable returns while easing traffic congestion along the busy Nakuru Highway.
Speaking on Citizen TV on Sunday, NSSF Chief Executive Officer David Koross said the fund is focusing on agile decision-making and higher-yield investments to achieve an annual return of 17 per cent as it works towards a Ksh 1 trillion fund value.
The 175-kilometre road, launched by President William Ruto in November 2025, is being upgraded into a dual carriageway under a Public-Private Partnership model and is expected to be completed by June 2027.
NSSF is also eyeing major real estate developments, including a proposed skyscraper on Kenyatta Avenue, as trustees reaffirmed strict governance, transparency and regulatory oversight in all investments.
