Dear Listers,
According to this article, at least Sh144 million collected by different government agencies through the e-citizen platform is missing and cannot be accounted for, raising queries of possible embezzlement amid the digital shift of government services.million. Also, about Sh1.9 billion was recorded by e-citizen as partial, incomplete and duplicated payments, which means they were received but not used for the intended purpose by the payer.
Further, the Government Digital Payment Unit, which is in charge of the eCitizen platform been in breach of the law as it is not registered as a data controller at the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner and has no data protection policy.
The platform is also still controlled by a private sector player and the government has no full control over it, and has to consult the external player for any alteration of the platform including onboarding of new services.
