The Principal Secretary for the State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services, Julius Bitok, has revealed that the government generates almost Ksh1 billion from the e-Citizen service daily.
Bitok had been put on task to explain how well the service was working when he appeared before the National Assembly Committee on Administration and Internal Security for a review of Supplementary Estimates II for the 2024/2025 Financial Year on Friday.
However, he did not provide a clear number and revealed that the revenue fluctuates, providing a range between Ksh700 million and Ksh900 million daily.
He further clarified that this amount, which amounted to approximately Ksh24 billion annually, was remitted directly to the National Treasury in its entirety.
