E-Citizen Meal Payments at UoN.University of Nairobi Implements E-Citizen Payment System for Meals.

Introduction:

The University of Nairobi, in response to a directive from the Kenyan government, will now require students and staff obtaining meals from its kitchens to utilize the e-Citizen platform for payments. This mandate, issued by the Kenya Kwanza government, stipulates that all financial transactions with the institution must be conducted through the government’s online portal.

Implementation of the Directive

In compliance with this directive, the university administration disseminated a memo to all students and staff outlining the procedures for making payments through the e-Citizen platform. The memo, distributed by the Vice-Chancellor’s office via the corporate affairs channel, emphasizes the government’s requirement for utilizing the designated paybill number 222222.

Payment Process

To facilitate payments, individuals are instructed to input the Outlet/Live identifier in capital letters, followed by a hyphen and their respective name as the account number (e.g., NUK1-name). The university has further provided specific Outlet/Live identifiers corresponding to various kitchens across its main and satellite campuses within Nairobi.
