The State Department for Children Services has strongly refuted claims of delays in June cash transfers for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC), denouncing a circulating press release as fake.

• The department cautioned the public against relying on unverified information regarding the CT-OVC programme.
• Beneficiaries have expressed concern as the last completed payment under the CT-OVC programme was reported on March 31.
• This clarification comes amidst broader concerns over delayed payments affecting various public sector workers and beneficiaries.
