Fresh registration of new Inua Jamii members to begin Sept 1st

The Government will enroll new members under the Inua Jamii cash transfer programme starting September 1^st 2023 to cater for deserving vulnerable Kenyans.

“In keeping with the administration’s commitment of securing the dignity of all citizens, and in honour of the contribution of our senior citizens, the process of onboarding the new registration of new members will commence on 1^st September 2023.

Currently, the Inua Jamii programme benefits 1,233,123 Kenyans, including 353,000 orphans and vulnerable children, 833,129 elderly citizens, 47,000 persons with severe disabilities.

Last month, President William Ruto directed State Department of Social Protection to ensure that beneficiaries receive their money on 15th of every month.

This is after the government delayed releasing the money for eight months leading to hue and cry from beneficiaries who solely depend on the kitty for their upkeep and basic needs.
