The parliamentary committee on Labour and Social Welfare has accused some banks of stealing cash meant for the elderly under the Inua Jamii stipends.

Committee chairman Ali Wario, who is also Bura MP, while leading his team on a tour of the Western region, said they have received complaints from beneficiaries of the transfer programme that certain banks contracted to make the payments have devised ways to steal from senior citizens.

“I call for speedy investigations into the alleged reports of banks stealing from the beneficiaries,” said Wario
