Kiambu county government has launched the Cashless Revenue Collection.
The event was attended by Governor Ferdinand Waititu, his Deputy James Nyoro, County Executives (CEC's), and major stakeholders.
Speaking during the launch on Friday, Waititu said that the county had partnered with Co-operative Bank to implant tellers in their cash offices, Level 5 and 4 hospitals to collect revenue on their behalf.
"The revenue collected goes directly to our account. This eliminates middlemen who are an extra cost to the County," he said.
The Jubilee governor further noted that they had launched a USSD code that will help Kiambu locals to pay for various services offered in the county.
"We have launched our USSD code *419# which will assist Kiambu residents to pay for some services like parking, cess, markets fee, single business permits renewal among others," Waititu said.
With the launch, the Kiambu county boss noted that it was a way that his administration would enhance revenue collection.
"These are some of the steps my government has undertaken to enhance revenue collection. Improved revenue collection will translate to more development projects for Kiambu Citizens," Waititu noted.
