The Kenyan government has disbursed Sh2.4 billion for the April 2026 Inua Jamii cash transfer programme, benefiting 1,213,066 vulnerable citizens, including older persons and those living with severe disabilities.

In a statement, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection said the funds are part of ongoing efforts to support vulnerable households across the country through social protection initiatives.

The ministry noted that the beneficiaries include elderly persons under the Older Persons Cash Transfer programme, as well as individuals enrolled in the Persons with Severe Disabilities Cash Transfer scheme.

These groups form part of the broader Inua Jamii initiative, which aims to cushion at-risk populations from economic hardship.

According to the ministry, the disbursement is expected to provide timely financial relief to beneficiaries, enabling them to meet basic needs such as food, healthcare and other essential services.

The Inua Jamii programme remains one of the government’s key social safety net interventions, targeting individuals who are unable to support themselves due to age, disability or other vulnerabilities.

The cash transfers are typically issued in regular cycles to ensure continuity of support.

Officials emphasised that the April disbursement reflects the government’s continued commitment to safeguarding the welfare of vulnerable citizens.

They added that the programme plays a critical role in reducing poverty levels and promoting dignity among beneficiaries.

The ministry also highlighted ongoing efforts to streamline the payment process to ensure efficiency and accountability.

Beneficiaries are encouraged to access their funds through designated payment channels, including authorised financial institutions and mobile money platforms.

In addition, the government has been working to enhance transparency within the programme by strengthening verification and registration processes.

These measures are intended to ensure that only eligible individuals benefit from the scheme.
