Official warns against 'ghost beneficiaries' of stipend for elderly citizens


By BRIAN OJAMAA More by this AuthorAuthorities in Webuye have warned about “ghost beneficiaries” allegedly getting cash from the Inua Jamii programme. The programme targets beneficiaries enrolled under the three Inua Jamii cash transfer programmes which include, orphans and vulnerable, elderly persons, and persons with severe disabilities. Bungoma East Deputy County Commissioner Chaka Nyamawi said the intricate syndicate involves local bank officials, chiefs and social service officers. “The list has about 250 people who pocket money for elderly yet they are not known and cannot be traced," he said. Another victim of the fraud Khasandi Kwamwombe Lusia said she has received the money only once since she enrolled in the programme in 2016.
