On his part, Chelugui has praised the Ministry for the critical role it plays in the social development sector in the country.

Cheluigui said the Labour Ministry will continue to work with the Ministry of Public Service, Gender, Senior Citizens Affairs, and Special Programme as it is mandated.

Mr. Chelugui added that the State Department is currently conducting a re-targeting exercise to reinstate all the beneficiaries who used to receive a stipend but because of some reasons, no longer receive the same.

He has also assured the social protection staff for full support from his Ministry saying they are serving in the same government for the needs of Kenyans.

“To the staff, we are still serving in the same government. My door will remain open for any consultation even at the individual level,” said Chelugui.
