The Ministry of Finance has launched the National Electronic Payment Gateway system through which users will pay for all government services.
Officials from the ministry say with the increasing use of technology to access services, the citizens are often inconvenienced when making payments for the services. This is manifested in the non-seamless mode of payment the citizens are subjected to.
According to a statement from the ministry and the National Information Technology Authority, Uganda NITA-U, it is against that background, that the Accountant General, in partnership with NITA-Uganda, is set to implement a Payment Gateway that will enable online payments for all Government services. Interested private sector business enterprises will also receive payments for their supplies, in a bid to promote e-Commerce and financial inclusion in Uganda.
