The government disbursed Kes 3.2 billion to the Inua Jamii programme beneficiaries for June 2024 as it onboarded 570,263 new beneficiaries.

The Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs Principal Secretary, Joseph Motari, revealed that the 570,263 new beneficiaries enrolled in the program bring the total number of beneficiaries to 1,607,996, up from 1,037,733 registered in May 2024.

 “The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection on Friday, June 28 2024 released Kes 3.2 billion for June 2024 payment to beneficiaries enrolled in the Inua Jamii programme.”

This follows President William Ruto’s directive last year to upscale the program to 2.5 million beneficiaries, an exercise that is set to be conducted in phases.

Further, he said the Payment will commence on Wednesday July 3, 2024, to all the beneficiaries including those recently onboarded to the programme via their bank accounts.

The cash transfer initiative supports the community's most vulnerable members by providing them with a stipend to cushion them from poverty hunger and improve their livelihoods.
