At least 22,000 government services were unavailable for a better part of Friday after the  e-citizen payment platform crashed.

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) was one of the parastatals that announced unavailability and disruptions in payment of services.

KRA took to social media advising stakeholders to use alternative payment methods like the bank as they worked on restoring the services. "We would like to inform all our stakeholders about the unavailability of the e-Citizen Payment Service.

Please use bank payment options as we work to restore services.
