Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) recently disclosed that Kenyans must now utilize the e-Citizen platform to make payments for their services. This directive follows President William Ruto’s mandate that all government services be conducted through this platform.
Individuals registered under e-Citizen can make payments in advance or at the gate.
To get started, follow these steps:
- Download the e-Citizen mobile app from either Google Play or the Apple App Store. Alternatively, you can access the platform through KWS.e-citizen.go.ke.
- If you prefer, you can also use the QR Code available on KWS’s social media platforms. Scanning it will direct you to the website.
- If you don’t already have an e-Citizen account, you will need to sign up for one.
