At least Sh144 million collected by different government agencies through the e-citizen platform is missing and cannot be accounted for, raising queries of possible embezzlement amid the digital shift of government services.

Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu has sounded alarm over the discrepancies in the actual balances recorded by several ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) in the year to June 2024, and the amounts shown by the digital receipts generated by the e-citizen platform.
