The High Court in Malindi has transferred a case by Senate Minority Leader Stewart Madzayo challenging the Sh50 convenience fee charged to people using the eCitizen platform to the Constitutional and Human Rights Division of the High Court in Nairobi. “It is in the interest of justice that the petitions are heard together,” ruled Justice Thande while ordering the petition by Mr Madzayo to be transferred to Nairobi. The AG said a gazette notice on the convenience fee did not contravene any law or constitution, arguing that it was legal and constitutional. Mr Madzayo argues that all payments made through the eCitizen.go.ke platform are subject to a Sh50 'convenience fee' and that two invoices are issued for all payments made through the platform. Mr Madzayo says the fee is charged at a flat rate for all transactions, including transactions where the service fee paid to the government is Sh50, so the user pays the convenience fee at a rate of 100 per cent of the service fee.
