NAPSA takes eight employers to court

Share

The National Pensions Scheme Authority (NAPSA) has taken eight employers in Kabwe to task for failure to remit contributions as stipulated by the law.

Head of Prosecutions James Sinyangwe revealed this to ZANIS in an interview in Kabwe today and named the eight business houses as Baines Motors Limited, Kabwe Medical Consultants, That Place, Pite Bar and Restaurant, Chrisima Midi Bar, Slice Technology and Nochi’s Lodge.

Mr. Sinyangwe said the culprits would appear in court on 20th and 21st August, 2009 for trial.

He appealed to all defaulting employers throughout the country to avoid being taken to court by paying statutory contributions for their employees.

“As National Pension Scheme Authority, we consider all the employers as stakeholders in protecting employees’ benefits,” he said.

He further appealed to employers facing financial difficulties to arrange the best contribution remission method with the manager in their respective trading areas.

Mr. Sinyangwe warned that those who would continue defaulting would be taken to court, for the law to take its course.

  1. A case of double standards. Is NAPSA not aware that even quasi GRZ companies are in breach of the same law? They should not just be selectively pick private owned businesses because doing so would make those in GRZ agencies not to be responsible as they would just spend statutory obligation money on increasing directors salaries. Extend the exercise please
