The Labour Ministry has announced the release of Ksh3.5 billion to 1,758,735 beneficiaries enrolled in the Inua Jamii programme.
In a statement dated January 8, the Social Protection Principal Secretary (PS) Joseph Motari revealed that beneficiaries had already started receiving their stipends on January 7.
However, two counties will see beneficiaries receive their payments via the E-Citizen platform directly to their mobile money accounts in a pilot programme seeking to increase efficiency.
The roll-out will kick off in Murang'a and Marsabit counties for their December payments and transition to the other 45 counties for the January cycle.
