State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs has released over Ksh4.6 billion for the June and July 2025 stipends under the Inua Jamii cash transfer programme.
The State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs has released over Ksh4.6 billion for the June and July 2025 stipends under the Inua Jamii cash transfer programme.
In a statement on Thursday, August 7, Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs Principal Secretary Joseph Motari confirmed the funds had been released to over one million Kenyans.
“The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, through the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs, has released Ksh4,607,668,000 for payment to 1,151,917 older persons and persons living with severe disabilities enrolled in the Inua Jamii Program,” he said.
Motari explained that the amount covers a two-month period and that each beneficiary will receive Ksh4,000.
“The disbursement covers stipends for both the June and July 2025 payment cycles. Each beneficiary will receive Ksh4,000, representing Ksh2,000 per month for the two months,” he added.
Motari also addressed the delay in June payments, attributing it to an ongoing cleanup of the program’s data to ensure accurate targeting.
“The June cycle payment had been delayed due to a data cleanup exercise. The State Department apologizes to beneficiaries for any inconvenience caused by the delay,” he further said.
This comes a week after the Ministry of Labour flagged a fraudulent scheme circulating on social media, misleading the public with fake promises of financial aid.

Motari said the scheme is not connected to any legitimate government programme and urged the public to remain cautious.
He added that all official communication about Inua Jamii comes only through verified government channels.
“This scam, which promises fake financial support, is not sanctioned by the Government. All official communication regarding Inua Jamii cash transfer programmes is disseminated exclusively through verified channels of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs,” he added.
