More than 200,000 elderly Kenyans did not receive the government’s cash support payouts in the year ended June 2020 due to underspending and non-allocation of funds, a study shows, exacerbating conditions of those vulnerable in the country.

About Sh5.8 billion of the amount meant for the beneficiaries was not transferred out of Sh25.82 billion recurrent expenditure allocation in the financial year 2019/20.
