The Government has released Ksh 3.5 billion for payment to 1,759,656 Inua Jamii Programme beneficiaries.
In a statement, the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs Principal Secretary Joseph Motari said that payment commenced yesterday, with each beneficiary set to receive Ksh 2,000 covering the month of May.
Motari noted that the Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Programme remains a cornerstone of the Government’s social protection strategy.
The programme aims to alleviate poverty and promote the well-being of society’s most vulnerable members, including older persons aged 70 and above, orphans and vulnerable children, and persons living with severe disability.
