World Bank bans eCitizen firm Webmasters Kenya for five years The CEO insists that failure in compliance is still a win in nation‑building. News 18 min ago
The World Bank has debarred Webmasters Kenya Ltd, the company known for creating the eCitizen platform, and its CEO, Mr James Ayugi, from conducting business with the institution for five years following a project in Somalia that was executed in a questionable manner.
According to a debarment notice issued in June 2026, the World Bank said the CEO and his company would not be able to conduct any business with it for five years, a finding that the firm has described as too harsh for an “administrative lapse”.
