Government plans to expand cash transfers to 2.5 million households
Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection Alfred Mutua says cash transfers remains important but can not provide lasting protection on their own. “Cash transfer, however well targeted, protects a household only for as long as the transfer lasts,” he said, adding that sustainable livelihoods offered more durable protection against poverty and economic shocks.
