A total of 1,448 pay bill numbers have been closed by government ministries, departments and agencies following President William Ruto's directive to adopt a cashless system and use a single number for all government services.

President Ruto last month banned cash payments for all government services and ordered that all government services be paid through a single pay bill number, 222222, to be manned by the National Treasury from today, August 8.
