New Inua Jamii applicants to wait longer for stipend

At least 26,000 people who had applied to be enlisted in the Inua Jamii Scale-up Programme last year will have to wait a little longer before being enrolled to benefit from the KES 2,000 monthly stipend.

This comes barely days after the government’s announcement that KES 2.9 billion had been released for the Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Program and another KES 5.9 million for those enrolled in the Nutrition Improvement through Cash and Health Education (NICHE) program.

Nyeri County Director of Children’s Services Kung’u Mwaniki says it is only those currently captured under the Government Consolidated Cash Transfer Program Management Information System (CCTPMIS) who will receive disbursement for December, as announced by Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Florence Bore.

“It is true that payment for those currently in our database is going on as announced. However, for those who had applied last year, we are yet to receive notification with regard to the status of their applications,” he said.

“This means they will have to wait until such a time when we get confirmation on who will be considered for the next phase.”

The government rolled out a nationwide registration exercise on September 1 last year to widen the bracket of needy individuals on state social security support.

The exercise, which was to end after two weeks, was extended for a fortnight to avoid locking out deserving cases. Approximately 500,000 orphans, vulnerable children, and people with severe disabilities had been targeted.

In a statement made by Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Florence Bore, orphans, vulnerable children, and persons living with disabilities will receive their money through Mpesa. However, beneficiaries under the Older Persons Cash Transfer program will continue receiving their money through their respective bank accounts.
