Elderly persons in Kirinyaga County are facing long queues and delays as they struggle to register for the government’s Inua Jamii programme during an ongoing exercise to clean up the beneficiaries’ register.
The exercise aims to establish the actual number of genuine beneficiaries and remove the names of people who may have died but remain on the programme’s register.
Residents have been forced to wake up early and travel long distances with their elderly relatives to five sub-county social services offices, where many spend entire days waiting to be served.
