Last year November, the government released Sh8 billion for the Inua Jamii payment to beneficiaries enrolled in the Consolidated Cash transfer programme (CCTP).
At the time, Ministry of labor and social protection stated that the payment to cash transfer programme beneficiaries was to begin from November 18, 2019.
The money, channeled through the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, was to be paid out to 1,092,195 members in the programme.
Beneficiaries, old persons, orphans and persons with severe disability, were to access payment at any time over a period of six months from last year November.
Under the programme, beneficiaries are allowed to either withdraw all or a portion of this amount through Co-operative bank, Equity, KCB and Post bank only.
