The contract was signed by Finance Undersecretary Khalifa Hamada and K-Net General Manager Hasan Akbar.
Speaking after the signing of the agreement, Hamada said electronic payment of government fees would be made available at individual points-of-sale and self-service electronic stations, as well as through the interest and mobile phones.
This, he explained would allow citizens and expatriates to pay their dues with ease and without the need to personally go to government administrations, adding that the service would come into implementation within the next two months in cooperation with the Central Agency for Information Technology.
Moreover, the undersecretary said the agreement was in line with the government's efforts to transform to the e-government system, in implementation of the cabinet's decision regarding this matter.
The ministry will issue regulations for making these payments.
