1,448 government paybills disconnected after president Ruto's directive
1,448 paybill numbers that were previously used for payment services in government offices have been disconnected since June 30, 2023, following President William Ruto's directive.
Ruto, while presiding over the official launch of the eCitizen platform, directed all ministries to use a single paybill number (222222) to pay for government services.
In turn, he said, existing paybills would be discontinued.
"Apart from making sure that there is no multiplicity of pay bills by government agencies. No citizen should be told to pay for the service using this pay bill. All Kenyans must know that if they have to pay for the government services it has to be 222222," said Ruto.
"The government expects that all services must go through the pay bill so that the treasury can have sight of every service that is paid for,” he added.
Immigration Principal Secretary Julius Bitok has called on government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) who are yet to comply to do so. BY THE STANDARD MEDIA
