10 more counties signed up for Safaricom’s MyCounty App, which allows residents to pay for services offered by county governments and engage county leaders seamlessly.

Since MyCounty App was unveiled in Makueni in April, Safaricom has onboarded Nairobi, Uasin Gishu, Samburu, Bomet, Narok, Kitui, Busia, Kilifi, Elgeyo Marakwet and Kajiado counties.

Speaking during the ongoing Devolution Conference in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, Safaricom CEO Peter Ndegwa lauded counties for embracing digitization of their services.

“Digitising devolution is a collaborative agenda bringing together the public and private sector to serve all Kenyans,” said Ndegwa.

MyCounty Apps are available on Android, iOS, on M-Pesa Super App as a Mini App, on USSD and on the Web for desktop and laptop channels.
