The Head of State, His Excellency William Ruto is now facing a fresh legal battle regarding his recent order on digitizing government services.
Just weeks ago, the President directed all ministries to terminate all remaining non-designated payment platforms and migrate to the newly designated Paybill Number, 222222.
The move was to take effect by Tuesday, August 8, 2023, in line with President Ruto administration’s plan to digitize government services.
Citizen TV now reports that two petitioners have moved to Court, challenging the government’s move to have a single Paybill number for all government-linked services across the country.
The petitioners have rendered the move unconstitutional and wants it overturned with immediate effect.
According the an earlier statement by the Principal Secretary for Immigration and Citizen Services Julius Bitok, a total of one thousand, one hundred and forty eight (1,448) Paybill numbers were discontinued by Monday, August 7.
On that note, it’s now up to the Court to decide the matter on whether the President’s directive will stand in place or it will be ruled out.
