"content": "worked closely with the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and Ministry of Health multi-agency teams both at the headquarters and field levels, leveraging on the institutional arrangements of Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government through Regional Commissioners, County Commissioners, Deputy County Commissioners up to chiefs and Nyumba Kumi cluster heads. The inclusion of Ministry of Health, through their community health volunteers, was to ensure that the various Ministry of Health guidelines and protocols were adhered to, so that the would-be beneficiaries would not be exposed to Covid-19 effects during identification. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection via the county and sub county officers together with the constituencies’ social assistance committees, other agencies and stakeholders were critical in enhancing the credibility of their identification process. The multi-agency teams were guided by the following criteria: (i) Households with high poverty index and where the head or breadwinner is disabled; (ii) Households with high poverty index and where the head or breadwinner is widowed; (iii) Households with high poverty index and where the head or breadwinner is a minor -that is orphans or child-led households; (iv) Households with high poverty index and where the head or breadwinner is suffering from pre-existing medical condition, for example HIV and Cancer; (v) Households with high poverty index and where the head or breadwinner is mentally unsound and/or vulnerable; (vi) Households which are not benefitting from other Government support programmes; and, (vii) Majorly selected from urban informal settlements that are hard hit by Coronavirus pandemic. The identification exercise was divided into three faces namely: Phase 1 targeted those in the initial four lockdown counties: Nairobi, Mombasa, Kwale and Kilifi. A total of 85,300 people were reached. Phase 2 targeted a further 17 counties: Nakuru, Kirinyaga, Meru, Kakamega, Embu, Kiambu, Nyeri, Uasin Gishu, Kisumu, Murang’a, Kajiado, Kisii, Machakos, Mandera, Tharaka Nithi, Nyamira and Migori. At the moment, a total of 180,800 households were identified into the Programme with additions from the upscale which is phase 3; Phase 3 has scaled up the Programme to 26 remaining counties: Baringo, Bomet, Bungoma, Busia, Elgeyo Marakwet, Garissa, Homa Bay, Isiolo, Kericho, Kitui, Laikipia, Lamu, Makueni, Marsabit, Nandi, Narok, Nyandarua, Samburu, Siaya, Taita Taveta, Tana River, Trans Nzoia, Turkana, Vihiga, Wajir and West Pokot. Hon. Deputy Speaker, under this phase, the programme seeks to introduce an additional 400,000 new households into the programme. Currently, 75,858 of the intended 400,000 new households have already been targeted into the programme. The programme aims at reaching a total population of 669,000 households across all the 290 constituencies in the 47 counties in Kenya. The current payroll figure stands at 341,958 households. Targeting is still ongoing for the remaining balance of 327,042 households into the programme, who will be paid up to the first week of October 2020."
