“The disbursement will be through the contracted Payment Service Providers (PSPs). This payment is scheduled to commence on Monday, January 9, 2023,” read part of the statement.

The payment also included complimentary top-ups from Nutrition through Cash and Health Education (NICHE) for 4,549 beneficiaries totaling Ksh8,400,500.

All county officials were instructed to mobilize recipients across all locations to claim their payment. All beneficiaries can access these funds through several local banks, making it easier for them to save and withdraw.

The funds go to orphans and vulnerable children, the elderly, and people with severe impairments.

People who were negatively impacted by the delayed payment, particularly the elderly, begged President William Ruto to take action, claiming that the high cost of living had rendered life unbearable for the majority of them.

According to a statement by President William Ruto on Wednesday, January 4, 2023, Inua Jamii cash payments were delayed because the government lacked the resources to sustain the program.

Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Programme is a Government strategic intervention whose aim is to cushion the vulnerable members of society and improving their livelihood.

Since November 2018, a total of 1,094,372 out of 1,233,129 translating to 89% of beneficiaries for the three cash transfer programmes have successfully been migrated into the new payment model.
