    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget regarding the state of the e-Citizen digital payment platform. In the Statement, the Committee should- (i) Provide details on any agreement entered into by the Kenyan Government with respect to the management of the platform, disclosing the identity of the private vendor who operates the platform, as well as any monies paid to them, so far. (ii) State why the Government opted to contract a private vendor to operate the platform, explaining measures put in place to ensure strict adherence to the applicable laws, particularly the tax laws, the Data Protection Act, and the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act. (iii) Explain measures put in place by the Government to address revenue leakages and ensure accountability in the management of all monies collected via the e- citizen digital payment platform. (iv) Explain why the National Treasury is handling payment reconciliation and settlement from the e-citizen platform manually, which can be prone to human error, clarifying whether there are any plans to automate the process."
