The government plans to increase the monthly Inua Jamii stipend for more than one million elderly Kenyans to cushion them against the rising cost of living. Speaking in Narok, Principal Secretary for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs Joseph Motari said the National Social Protection Board is reviewing the programme to facilitate the increase. Currently, eligible Kenyans aged 70 and above receive 2,000 shillings monthly, costing the government about 29 billion shillings annually.
