The government has proclaimed a 300 percent increase in E-Citizen service revenue collection.
Principal Secretary of State Department for Immigration Julius Bitok indicated in a statement sent to PoliticalPulseChat a revenue increase from Ksh1.3 billion in June 2023 to Ksh4.1 billion in September 2023.
The Public Service Commission revealed that as of October 4, the government had effectively made over 10,513 services available on the online platform.
”A further 4,184 services are partially onboarded and are in the process of being fully onboarded,” the statement read in part.
In addition, the government specified that the quantity of revenue collected in July and August was Ksh 2.3 billion and Ksh 3.5 billion, respectively.
During the debut of the eCitizen platform on June 30, 2023, President William Ruto unveiled 5,000 Services on the Portal and ordered that all government services be made available on the online platform.
”Following the Presidential directive, the revenue collected on the eCitizen platform has grown by over 300% from Ksh1,397,301,980 in June 2023 to Ksh4,168,704,016 in September 2023,” Amb. Bitok stated on the revenue increase.

In addition, it stated that government services would be accessible by the end of the year.
”The process of migrating Government services to eCitizen will continue until all the remaining services are fully onboarded by December 31, 2023, the statement concluded.
President Ruto introduced the platform in June, as he had promised on Madaraka Day, to facilitate citizens’ access to government services.
”We have taken measures to empower Kenyans everywhere, especially the majority at the bottom of our socioeconomic structure, to access government services at their convenience, through their mobile devices,” President Ruto said during the launch.
Recently the eCitizen experienced a collapse after attempted cyber attacks on the online platform that led to the unavailability of crucial government services for hours.
