Hi GG, This is a governance issue, it would be good to know why the treasury took this initiative. Be that as it may, this is not good, Trust is very important for any online based system, as soon as it is eroded the system is gone.

The National Treasury has been thrust into a vicious war with the administrator of its electronics payments platform eCitizen, which now threatens to stall services offered through the World Bank-backed online portal.
Goldrock Capital Limited, which runs e-Citizen’s mobile money payment account, has sued the National Treasury for denying it access to the platform’s M-Pesa paybill number that receives billions of shillings from individuals seeking government services through the online portal.
