Members of Parliament have raised alarm over the dubious 'double' transfer of eCitizen, which is the official means of paying for all government services.
Led by the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, Butere MP Tindi Mwale, the MPs queried the dubious handover of ownership between the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a local firm and the National Treasury, spanning several years.
The queries were in response to an audit by the Auditor General on the platform, and despite the government previously asserting that it had control and ownership of eCitizen.
The platform arose through the Government of Kenya's initiative to digitise revenue collection in Kenya, with the idea being financed by the World Bank/International Finance Corporation (IFC), which contracted a local firm to provide software development and maintenance support services.
