About Our County Government IT Practice

e-Government Software Built for
Kenya's 47 County Governments

Kenya's devolved system of government — established under the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and operationalised through the County Governments Act 2012 and Public Finance Management Act 2012 — gives Kenya's 47 county governments significant responsibility for delivering public services to citizens. Counties collect own-source revenue through business permits (Single Business Permits), land rates, parking fees, market fees, agricultural produce cess, and other local levies — and are accountable to the Controller of Budget (COB) and Office of the Auditor General (OAG) for how those funds are managed.

Algosoft Technologies builds e-government and digital transformation software for Kenya's county governments — M-Pesa revenue collection systems that let citizens pay business permits and land rates via Daraja STK Push and Paybill without queuing at county offices, public service application portals that bring service delivery online, IFMIS-compatible financial management systems for county treasury operations, and KDPA 2019-compliant citizen data management for counties that collect, process, and store residents' personal information in the delivery of public services.

  • M-Pesa County Revenue Collection — Citizens pay Single Business Permits, land rates, parking fees, market stall fees, and county levy charges via M-Pesa Daraja STK Push (payment prompt to their phone) or Paybill C2B — with automatic receipt generation, real-time revenue dashboard for the county treasury, and daily revenue reconciliation reports for County Revenue Management.
  • IFMIS-Compatible Financial Management — County treasury budget management, commitment control, expenditure posting, supplier payment management, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting structured for compatibility with Kenya's Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) and Controller of Budget quarterly reporting requirements.
  • Public Service Delivery Portal — An online portal for citizens to apply for county services — business permits, construction permits, change of user approvals, birth certificate applications, market stall allocations — track application status, pay fees via M-Pesa, and receive SMS notifications when their application is approved or requires further action.

Why Choose Algosoft

Why Kenya's County Governments
Choose Algosoft Technologies

01

Kenya Devolution & County Governance Expertise

We understand Kenya's devolution legal framework — the County Governments Act 2012, the Public Finance Management Act 2012, the Urban Areas and Cities Act, and county-specific by-laws that govern revenue collection and public service delivery. Our county government systems are built with this legal and regulatory context embedded from the ground up.

02

M-Pesa Revenue Collection Expertise

County governments collect billions of shillings annually through business permits, land rates, and market fees — but long queues at county cashier halls, cash leakage, and manual receipt books undermine revenue performance. We integrate M-Pesa Daraja STK Push and Paybill C2B to let citizens pay from their phones, eliminate cash handling, and give the county treasury a real-time revenue dashboard.

03

IFMIS Compatibility & PFM Act Compliance

County treasury systems must comply with the Public Finance Management Act 2012 — including commitment control, budget adherence, and quarterly OCOB reporting. We build county financial management systems with IFMIS-compatible data structures, vote head accounting aligned with Kenya's PFM regulations, and automated Controller of Budget quarterly report templates.

04

Auditor General Compliance Support

Kenya's Auditor General regularly queries county governments on unreconciled revenue, missing asset registers, and unsupported expenditures. Our county ERP systems produce Auditor General-ready financial statements, asset verification schedules, bank reconciliation reports, and supplier payment registers — reducing the volume of audit queries in annual Auditor General reports for participating counties.

05

Citizen Data Protection (KDPA 2019)

County governments collect and process substantial personal data — business owner records, land ownership records, market trader details, and public service application records. As data controllers under KDPA 2019, counties must implement lawful processing, purpose limitation, data security, and individual rights mechanisms. We build KDPA 2019-compliant data management into every county government system we deliver.

06

Post-Launch Legislative & Regulatory Updates

Kenya's devolution framework evolves — new OCOB reporting formats are issued, Treasury Circulars change budget coding, and national government policy changes affect county functions. We provide post-launch maintenance to update county government software systems in response to new legal instruments, Treasury Circulars, and Controller of Budget guideline changes.

FAQs

IT Solutions for County Governments
Frequently Asked Questions

Algosoft builds M-Pesa county revenue collection systems for business permits, land rates, and market fees, public service delivery portals for citizen-facing application processing, IFMIS-compatible county treasury financial management systems, county asset and property registers, county assembly management systems, citizen engagement platforms, HR and payroll for county staff, and KDPA 2019-compliant citizen data management for Kenya's 47 county governments.
Yes. We build county revenue collection systems integrating M-Pesa Daraja STK Push — where a citizen who has applied for a Single Business Permit, wants to pay land rates, or is settling a parking fine receives an automated M-Pesa payment prompt on their phone — and Paybill C2B where citizens use the county Paybill number with their account or reference number. Payments post automatically to the county revenue database, receipts are issued, and a real-time revenue dashboard is available to the County Director of Revenue.
Yes. Our county financial management systems are designed with IFMIS-compatible vote head coding, budget structure, and data export formats — allowing county treasury staff to produce financial data that aligns with the Integrated Financial Management Information System formats required for Controller of Budget (OCOB) quarterly financial reports and Ministry of Finance submissions. We also include PFM Act 2012-compliant commitment control and expenditure authorisation workflows.
Yes. We build citizen-facing portals where residents apply online for business permits, construction approvals, market stall allocations, and other county services without visiting county offices — uploading required documents, paying fees via M-Pesa, and tracking their application status. On the county side, applications route automatically to the relevant department, with workflow approvals, rejection notifications, and processing time dashboards to support county service delivery performance reporting.
Yes. Most Auditor General queries for county governments relate to unreconciled revenue, missing or incomplete asset registers, unsupported expenditures, and payroll anomalies. Our county ERP systems address these systematically — with daily revenue reconciliation between M-Pesa and the revenue ledger, a fully maintained asset register with physical verification schedules, expenditure supporting document attachment workflows, and payroll change audit trails — significantly reducing the number and severity of Auditor General findings.
County government software costs range from $20,000 for an M-Pesa revenue collection system to $50,000+ for a full public service delivery platform with permit applications, asset management, and OCOB reporting to $120,000+ for a county ERP with IFMIS-compatible financial management and county assembly management. Integrated county governance platforms start at $250,000+. We offer milestone-linked payment schedules aligned with county budget cycles.
Yes. Our county assembly management system covers the MCA member register, plenary session scheduling, speaker and deputy speaker management, bill drafting and legislative tracking through first, second, and third reading stages, committee management, petitions and public participation, Hansard production and approval, and county assembly budget management for the County Assembly Fund — supporting the County Assembly Clerk and Speaker's office operations.
Yes. County governments are data controllers under Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019 (KDPA 2019) — collecting business owner personal details, land owner records, market trader data, and citizen service application information. We implement lawful basis documentation for each data processing activity, role-based access control, data encryption, citizen access and erasure request mechanisms, data retention policies, and ODPC data breach notification workflows into every county government system we build.
