MBAO PENSION SCHEME

The Mbao (Kshs 20-a-day) or National Jua Kali Pension scheme which targets jua kali (or informal sector workers) artisans was developed by the National Federation of Kenya Jua Kali Associations and the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA).

The individual pension plan is registered by both the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and RBA as Blue MSMEs Jua Kali Individual Retirement Benefit Scheme, which therefore allows it to run retirement plans for individual members.

The Mbao scheme is a voluntary pension savings program aimed to help people save for retirement, with the name ‘Mbao’ derived from the minimum Kshs 20 daily contribution that registered make to offer them a reliable income when they eventually retire from their jobs or businesses.

The common characteristics of the Jua Kali sector are that most are small-scale operations with individual or family ownership; players in the sector have no access to institutional credit facilities or other support and protection mechanisms; experience seasonal incomes and workers are generally not issued with pay slips.

Surfing around digg.com I noticed your blog bookmarked as: Blogger:
Small & Medium Enterprise Support, East Africa. Now I'm assuming you book marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social bookmarking gets you a large amount of visitors? I've
been contemplating doing some bookmarking for a few of my websites but
wasn't sure if it would yield any positive results. Many thanks.

Thanks and please check out my webpage at offshore company []

Hey there.
I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and
I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Thanks; visit my website on Offshore Banking
