Kenyan citizens using the eCitizen website should expect to see government announcements as well as advertisements once the government rolls out its recently announced upgrades to the system.
According to a Friday notice by the government, the changes to the system constitute the ongoing upgrades to the eCitizen system, intended to ensure the system becomes more informative as well as continue its evolution. Once the upgrade process is complete, users of the system will find government announcements as well as ads when they log onto the system.
The update to the system indicates that the changes to the system are intended to ensure users of the system remain more informed about key government announcements, as well as continue the evolution of the system. According to the government, the upgrade process to the system will not affect the current functions of the system, and the system will remain as secure for users as it currently is.
The government also indicates that the upgrade process to the system ensures users remain more informed, and the system continues to grow. According to the government, the upgrade process to the system includes the ability for approved partners to advertise on the system, and users of the system remain secure as the country’s data protection laws apply to the system.
The government recently rolled out a new system to enable Kenyans living abroad to access government services. This new system, the Diaspora Integrated Information Management System (DIIMS), enables Kenyans living outside of Kenya to access government services through the eCitizen system.
The new system, rolled out by the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, enables Kenyans living outside of Kenya to access government services through the eCitizen system. Currently, the eCitizen system hosts over 23,000 government services and facilitates over KSh1 billion transactions on a daily basis.
Earlier, there were allegations circulating on the Internet that KSh1.3 trillion had been stolen from the system, but the Office of the Auditor-General of Kenya denied the allegations, stating that no audit of the system found evidence of the allegations.
