PSPF CEO CONFERS WITH ZNS COMMAND

The Public Service Pensions Fund (PSPF) Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Francis Pindani Nyirenda recently, paid a courtesy visit to Lieutenant General Maliti Solochi, Commander of the Zambia National Service (ZNS) as part of the Fund’s ongoing efforts to engage with its partners for purposes of updating them on various developments within the institution.

Accompanied by his senior management team, Mr. Nyirenda commended the Zambia National Service for being a key segment of PSPF contributing members. He expressed his satisfaction with the cooperation the Fund receives from the Service in various collaborative areas.

During the visit at the ZNS Headquarters in Lusaka, Mr. Nyirenda updated the ZNS Command on recent developments within the Fund aimed at enhancing pension administration and improving access to services for members which include technology innovations such as system integration, mobile applications, digitalization, and automation.

He also expressed appreciation to the Defense Forces for leading the implementation of the Integration Programme, which is crucial for meeting the Presidential directive that mandates pension payments to be completed within 90 days of retirement, as well as the government’s goals for digitizing business processes.

Lieutenant General Maliti Solochi, who led the ZNS team, praised PSPF's efforts to digitize business processes and integrate systems with partners, noting that these initiatives will help reduce the waiting period for pensioners to receive their payments.
