List of 15 University Services To be Moved to eCitizen

The government’s online portal, e-Citizen, will soon be able to access more than 1,000 services provided by public universities as they race to meet the deadline for the changeover.

The relocation of all governmental services must be completed by September 30, 2023.

Vice Chancellors and other senior administrators from 47 public universities met for an onboarding retreat in Mlolongo, Machakos County, on Thursday, August 10, according to a statement from the Ministry of Interior and National Administration State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services. The retreat was held to streamline and complete the implementation of admission policies and essential services.

Julius Bitok, Principal Secretary for Immigration and Citizen Services, presided over the meeting.

Going digital is no longer an option since we have crossed the Rubicon on this. All public universities must adhere to this non-negotiable baseline standard, and for very good reasons considering that the government has made digitalization one of its long-term goals, according to Bitok.

All state organisations, including universities, have until the end of the year to digitise their services, according to President William Ruto.

Public colleges will provide a variety of services through the e-Citizen platform, such as:

1. New students’ application
2. Course Registration
3. Application for Transcripts
4. Employer’s Graduates Verification and Verification of Documents
5. Library Services
6. Student Portal
7. Scholarship Application
8. Work Study Application
9. E-learning Services
10. Application for Examination Remarking
11. Replacement of Transcripts and Certificates
12. Application for Retake
13. Clearance Application
14. Student ID Replacement
15. Bursary application

Over 5,127 government services are currently accessible on e-Citizen, and a similar number is planned to be fully online by December 2023.

The programme is anticipated to reduce corruption and theft, which are thought to cost the government millions of shillings in lost income, in addition to saving clients who seek government services time and money.
