Persons enlisted under the Inua Jamii cash transfer Programme will not need to register afresh, a government official has clarified.
Nyeri County Director of Children Services Joseph Mburu says those already benefiting from the cash transfer programme and who have registered M-Pesa lines have nothing to worry about but will now be receiving their money through their mobile phones.
Currently the government, through the Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizens, operates three cash transfer programmes: Persons with Severe Disabilities (PWSDs), Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC), and Older Persons (OP-CT). "Persons benefiting under the three cash programmes will not have to walk for long distances to access their monthly disbursements as long as their lines have a registered M-Pesa line.
One will only require to visit the nearest bank agent or an M-Pesa agent and be served as long as he has a registered line, "stated Mbugua while speaking to KNA.
