More Pain For Kenyans as Gov’t Announces Plans to Triple eCitizen Daily Collections: Immigration Principal Secretary Julius Bitok has announced the government’s plans to triple its daily collections on the eCitizen platform.
The PS was speaking during the commissioning of the Bungoma Immigration Offices, where he revealed the government’s intention to increase its daily collections to Ksh2 billion, up from Ksh700 million.
Bitok explained that at least 300,000 people visit the eCitizen platform daily to obtain services and it was the right time to optimize the platform’s potential.
He stated,”We are collecting more than Ksh700 million daily revenue. Our target is to collect Ksh2 billion per day and Ksh1.4 trillion per year,”
Bitok further expressed his optimism on the new immigration offices in Bungoma, while noting that the office will offer a full range of immigration services, curbing the need for residents to travel to Nairobi
He stated, “There are many people here who want to process dual citizenship, and they will now have the opportunity to do so locally. Once the office is operational, we expect to serve 500 clients daily, reaching 10,000 people monthly in this region.”
