Missing cash for Inua Jamii beneficiaries in Kakamega raise eyebrows Cash for elderly disappear

Wycliffe Sumbi Sakwa, 81, from Lubinu in Mumias East has been missing his Inua Jamii cash from 2019 after purportedly been declared dead.

When the government rolled out the Inua Jamii programme in 2015, it was intended to put money in the pockets of the elderly and the vulnerable in society.

But investigations now show that some of the intended beneficiaries have not been receiving their share of the cash. Instead, millions of shillings channeled towards the social protection scheme each month are being funneled to ghost recipients.
