Role of “Paymaster General”
Is the principal paying agent of the government and is considered to be the banker for all government
departments. All revenues of the government are kept by central bank of Kenya (CBK). Paymaster general is
rather an office, which makes payment on behalf of the government. It withdraws cash from the exchequer
account at regular intervals. The amount withdrawn is that which is approved by the parliament. It is from
this amount that payments are made for different ministries.
