The launch of MyCounty app platform in this county reflects our commitment to utilizing technology in making county services accessible and convenient for all, furthering our mission to connect, empower, and improve the lives of Kenyans.

The MyCounty App platform offers a comprehensive range of county services, including payment services such as parking, land rates, and single business permits.

Additionally, it provides citizens with a platform for engaging with county leadership, reporting incidents, and utilizing the “Sema na Governor” feature, which facilitates direct communication with governors and share feedback towards improvement of county services.

“Today marks a significant step forward for Kitui County as we digitize our services to grow accessibility and efficiency in delivery. I believe that the MyCounty App platform will empower our citizens to conveniently access our essential county services as we also grow our own source revenue. Today’s launch is, therefore, a testament to our dedication to improving the lives of our residents through digitisation and technology. We thank Safaricom for their partnership and look forward to the positive impact this innovation will have on our county,” said Dr Julius Malombe, Governor, Kitui County.

Safaricom targets to roll out the MyCounty App platform to all 47 counties in Kenya while incorporating the unique elements specific to each county.

The App is accessible on different channels including a mini-App on the M-PESA Super App, Android App, iOS, Web, and USSD short code.
