The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) on Tuesday announced that it had introduced new payment codes.
KUCCPS in a public notice revealed that this was after the government announced that all government services should be integrated with the eCitizen platform.
"For efficiency, KUCCPS services have been assigned codes for purposes of eCitizen transactions. Henceforth, stakeholders are advised to use the following payment reference codes while paying for the listed services via the platform," read part of the notice.
Per the new changes, all local students making payment for the provision of data for research will need to use the code PDRL.
Local NGOs and businesses who will be paying for the provision of data for research will be required to use the PNGO code.
On the other hand, bidders looking to purchase tender documents will be using the PTDB code while those looking to purchase career books will now be required to use the PCCB.
Meanwhile, universities who will be registering for membership will use RGMU while colleges will use RMCL for the same service.
"To pay for services not listed above such as applications for replacement or inter-institutional transfers, follow eCitizen payment instructions as provided on the respective KUCCPS portal," reads part of the notice.
