Inua Jamii programme beneficiaries are set to receive the April monthly stipends following the release of KSh 2.4 billion to 1.2 million Kenyans by the Kenyan government.
In a statement on Thursday, April 30, the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizens Affairs confirmed that the KSh2.4 billion has been disbursed to cover the April monthly allowances.
Additionally, the department clarified that the payment was to be made to approximately 1.2 million Kenyans, including senior citizens and persons living with disabilities, under the Inua Jamii program.
“The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, through the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs, has released KSh. Two Billion, Four Hundred and Twenty Six Million, One Hundred and Thirty Two Thousand (KSh. 2,426,132,000) for payments to 1,213,066 Older Persons and Persons Living with Severe Disability enrolled in the Inua Jamii programme,” part of the statement dated April 30 read.
Each beneficiary of the program is expected to receive KSh 2,000 covering the monthly allowance for the April 2026 cycle, with payment commencing today, on April 30.
As part of the government’s social protection strategy, the Inua Jamii Cash Transfer Program aims to promote the well-being of vulnerable members of society.
