The Kenyan government proposes expanding the Inua Jamii cash transfer program to include former councillors who served less than 20 years. This comes as a one-time Ksh200,000 honorarium is legally unfeasible.

• Affected former councillors will receive Ksh2,000 monthly from the Inua Jamii program, which currently supports vulnerable groups.
• According to Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi, there is no current legal framework to compensate the 328 former councillors directly.
• The Attorney General's opinion, dated May 8, 2023, confirmed the lack of legal basis for the one-off honorarium.
• This proposal follows a recent release of Ksh4.6 billion for Inua Jamii beneficiaries for June and July.
