    "content": "I stated in my last Budget Statement that we are moving all payments to Government onto the digital platform. The objective of the Government digital programme is to ensure that all payments to Government are made electronically so as to significantly reduce administrative costs, minimise leakage and expand access to payment points. This has enabled Kenyans to pay for Government services wherever they are and using payment channels of their choice, thus saving them costs associated with transport and queuing time. To date, over 1.7 million Kenyans have registered on e-Citizen payment platform, where they are able to access 115 services from different Government agencies, including some from the county governments. To date, the platform has processed over 2.4 million applications and collected Kshs4.2 billion in Government revenue. Some of the additional services we shall be bringing on board include assessment and payment of Stamp Duty, application for identity cards and inspection of company fines. To assure ourselves that the system is robust and not subject to manipulation, we have instituted an audit whose finding will be used to review the payment architecture. We will work closely with the Ministry of Information and Communication on those aspects."
