The directive comes after its top leadership was among the several parastatal CEOs summoned by the Secretary to the cabinet to explain why they had not complied with the directive.
President William Ruto said that Kenyans will only use the PayBill number, 222222, to pay for government services.
“There is a dedicated government pay channel, 222222. The expectation of the government is that all government revenue must now use the pay channel so that Treasury can have sight of every government service that is paid for,” he said.
“I am going to be making an announcement here that in the next 90 days, all other pay bills must be shut down because we have a problem with some of the PayBills that we cannot account for. We have close to over 1,000 PayBills some of which we don’t have sight of. They must now be closed. “
