“This disbursement covers the September 2025 payment, and each beneficiary household is receiving a sum of Ksh. 2,000. Payment will commence tomorrow. 24th September 2025 through the contracted Payment Service Provider,” she said.
The funds are meant to support the welfare of children and strengthen families’ ability to care for them.
