The statement said the one-off disbursement is made through the KWASSIP and the beneficiaries are mainly petty traders and vulnerable individuals earlier enumerated under the programme.
“At least 1,551 petty traders and 11,865 safety net beneficiaries earlier captured are involved in this phase.
“The disbursement comes a few weeks after the government rolled out a plethora of palliatives to support different segments of the state, including public sector workers and students.
“Last week, the government began the distribution of food palliatives to the most vulnerable, using the local administrations and community based groups to generate the list of beneficiaries,” the statement read in part.
