Abstract
Article 43 of the Kenyan Constitution is clear on the rights of every person to access basic livelihoods, including health, housing, sanitation, food, clean and safe water, as well as education, among others. More specifically, Section 3 in the Article obligates the state to offer proper social protection to vulnerable individuals who may not be able to access such basic livelihoods due to poverty. Despite the legal provisions and consequent operationalization, there are still gaps that ail the implementation of the program which include, hidden costs in obtaining the fund, unpredictable dates of payments, inadequate training of staff about the program, delay in receipt of money and inadequate budget for administrative function. The purpose of this study therefore was to evaluate the influence that cash transfer program has had on the livelihood of the elderly in Njoro Sub County, Kenya.
