Karura Forest in Nairobi will now exclusively process all entry and parking payments through the e-Citizen platform, effective Friday, August 29, 2025. This move aligns with a directive from the National Treasury to phase out non-designated payment systems and enhance transparency in public revenue collection.

• Payments for gate entry, parking, and related services, including the Sigiria block, must be made via e-Citizen Paybill number 222222.
• The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) announced the shift, citing a nationwide initiative to improve transparency, security, and efficiency in public service delivery.
• The transition to the digital payment system is not expected to disrupt normal operations at the popular recreational and conservation space.
