Caregivers of persons with disabilities (PWDS) could each receive a monthly stipend of Sh2,000 if a proposal to expand the allowance scheme for the special group is approved.

The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection said in a disclosure that it targets to cover 500,000 PWDs within five years, costing the government Sh12 billion annually once fully implemented.
