Thanks Washington for sharing this article. I somehow missed it. Seems too many issues are yet to be resolved. For example, there is lack of clarity on the ‘convinience fee’ and its beneficiaries. Could this latest development by the CS Njuguna be in in alignment with the President’s pronouncement of all government services being available online in the next six months? This caught my attention: “While Mr Ayugi and his firm were paid Sh70 million by the World Bank after taking the portal live, the government may have blundered in allowing Webmasters to upgrade and add thousands of government services to the portal without proper guiding principles on the project. Last week, President William Ruto <https://nation.africa/kenya/people/william-ruto-3809570> promised that in the next six months, all 5,000 government services will be accessible online, which means eCitizen will likely be a key player in the migration.” On Saturday, December 31, 2022, Odhiambo Washington via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
