Following a government directive requiring beneficiaries of the Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Programme to withdraw all their funds from bank accounts as the system transitions to a new payment model, the government has issued fresh instructions for those who failed to comply.

On Tuesday, Principal Secretary for Social Services Joseph Motari announced that the government would extend the compliance period by an additional five days.

This extension gives beneficiaries until March 15 to withdraw their funds or risk losing access to all the money in their accounts.

Additionally, Motari cautioned that beneficiaries who fail to act within the extended period could be removed from the system, as the government may assume they are no longer eligible.
