Over one million beneficiaries of the Inua Jamii cash transfer programme will start receiving their stipends towards the end of this month and next month as the government revives the initiative that stalled in November last year due to a lack of funds.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said Sh16.7 billion has been released through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection ahead of the disbursement, which will benefit a total of 1.07 million orphans and vulnerable children, the elderly and people with severe disabilities.
