<\/a><\/p>\nNarok County Social Services Coordinator David Koskei said 1249 others who were in the register do not benefit because of errors in their details.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the persons living with severe disability list, about 263 people do not benefit from the fund though their names were in the slots of the estimated beneficiaries register because of errors in their details, were deceased, or migrated to other counties.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, Koskei said during the Inua Jamii clinics conducted late last year, 450 cases were handed over for corrections so that they can benefit from the fund given by the government through the Social Services Department.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the same time, Narok County Children Officer, Pilot Khaemba, said the beneficiaries were selected after a survey was conducted to ascertain the eligibility of the beneficiaries to ensure all those who benefit were the neediest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Among the eligibility criteria for Inua Jamii includes one being a Kenyan Citizen, comes from an extremely poor homestead, had a severe form of disability, not enrolled in any other cash transfer programme. Others are the households with older persons above the age of 65 years with no member receiving the pension.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inua Jamii is a government initiative to provide support to vulnerable families through a cash transfer system where the money is channeled through the contracted banks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The banks include Kenya Commercial Bank, Kenya Women Trust Fund, Post Bank, National Bank, Equity Bank, and Cooperative Bank.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Every beneficiary is expected to open an account with the banks where he or she can withdraw money from the bank agents in their nearest trading center to prevent beneficiaries from traveling far distances to withdraw the money.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A total of 15, 139 households in Narok County have received the monthly Sh2000 each Inua Jamii cash transfer from the government.
