<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Hurried poor negotiation of these Government contracts means that the contract hot spots are not well thought out and transitional services in case of termination are not provided for. I hope that moving forward, the
Government appreciates the serious impact of these services contracted to private companies and changes its tact.

but has also complicated matters. Goldrock Capital, which has been collecting money and remitting to government from the platform, has sued the Treasury for locking it out of the mobile money collection portal. </font><span style="color:rgb(32,18,77); font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Goldrock
has made party to its suit Webmasters Kenya which developed the portal and which contracted it to do the collections. </span><span style="color:rgb(32,18,77); font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">As soon as the Treasury finally wrested control of the digital payments
system, it began regularisation of the entire project but the process has sparked a three-way standoff.</span></div>
