Workers in Cohort A of the Kazi Mtaani programme will receive their latest payment on Wednesday. “To all Cohort A Kazi Mtaani youths, your payment is being processed, should be paid latest tomorrow. The National Treasury last month allocated an additional Sh7 billion for the Kazi Mtaani programme to pay thousands of youth and scale up the initiative to cover the affordable housing project. “Sh1 billion is for the budget shortfall for Kazi Mtaani programme for payment of youth engaged in the programme and “Sh6 billion for consolidation of Kazi Mtaani programme under the State Department for Housing and Urban Development,” read the budget in part. In the wake of Covid-19, Kazi Mtaani has kept the 18-35 age category youths across the country engaged in access roads construction, clearing of drainages, tree planting and garbage collection in their localities.
