Government has listed Sonko Rescue Team among the NGOs set to be de-listed from the Registrar’s book.
According to a Gazette Notice issued by Lindon Nicolas, the CEO of the Public Benefit Organisations Regulatory Authority, the Inua Jamii, Sonko Rescue Team, and Sakaja Foundation are among 2,802 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that will lose their operating licenses in two weeks’ period.
The Notice claims that the listed NGOs violated some of their licensing terms. This Authority was formed after President William Ruto operationalised the Public Benefit Organisations Act 2013 (PBO Act) in May.
Nicolas, in the notice dated Thursday, December 5, asserted that the “cancellation of the said certificates shall take effect in 15 days.” The notice lists all 2,802 NGOs.
According to the notice, the Inua Jamii Programme, a government cash transfer initiative aimed at reducing poverty among vulnerable groups, including orphans, older persons (70+ years), and people with severe disabilities, is also set to lose its license.
The programme according to the government, supports about 1.75 million people every year.
