Auditor General Flags KSh 11 Billion Irregular Payments on eCitizen Platform - August 2025

Kenya's eCitizen digital payment platform is once again embroiled in allegations of public funds misappropriation, with the Office of the Auditor General, Nancy Gathungu, flagging irregular transactions amounting to KSh 11 billion. These revelations, which were presented before the National Assembly's Public Accounts Committee, point to unauthorized and irregular payments, raising significant concerns about the system's vulnerabilities and financial accountability. Allegations suggest a potential misuse of funds channeled through the digital government service portal. Members of Parliament are now demanding the shutdown of the system, which has been linked to claims of public funds theft.
