Principal Secretary for Immigration and Citizen Services, Belio Kipsang, has announced that the government is planning to establish a disaster recovery site for the eCitizen digital payment platform as it seeks to safeguard public funds.
The PS was speaking during a briefing with the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security.
The Committee held a discussion with the PS on the eCitizen systems, Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA), and the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration (Amendment) Bill 2025 on stateless persons.
eCitizen was at the centre of the discussions following a report by the Auditor-General that flagged accountability and transparency gaps within the platform, pointing to the potential misuse of billions of shillings.
