On June 21, 2021, Safaricom (NSE: SCOM) joined forces with the Trans Nzoia County Government to launch an M-PESA cashless payment system for collecting county levies.
Residents of Trans Nzoia County can now pay for parking, cess, and market fees, among other levies, using the system.
According to Peter Ndegwa, CEO of Safaricom, 'We are delighted to enable digital lifestyles for the people of Trans Nzoia County through M-PESA. This will greatly enhance convenience for residents, enabling them to pay for county services wherever they are and at whatever time.'
Residents can access the system by dialing 818#, which provides an option to choose among the different services.
The system is available for making payments across all five sub-counties of Kitale Municipality, Cherengany, Kiminini, Saboti, and Kwanza.
