Over the past year, we have seen state agencies and parastatals bringing their services into the government’s One-Stop-Shop for services, eCitizen for better or for worse. I mean this is a noble move, consolidating services but it is still change and with that comes teething pains.
What this means now is that we have new ways to perform tasks that we learned and got used to for years. One such service affects drivers looking to renew their driving licenses in Kenya. NTSA has a new Portal within the eCitizen that allows you to do this with ease.
