The promulgation of the Provident Fund by the Minister of Labour was to ensure that it becomes compulsory for every employee and employer in the Private Security Sector to contribute to the Fund. It was also to ensure that employers comply with the latter and gave effect to the enforcement provisions to enable a better life for security employees and their families.
