What if you paid the wrong county or paybill

Kenyan county parking channels are separate per county. If you drove from Kiambu into Nairobi and paid the Kiambu paybill in the Nairobi CBD, the Nairobi marshal will still clamp because their system does not see your payment.

  1. Stop the bleed: pay the correct county channel for where the car is parked, right now, on your phone. That is the fastest way to clear or avoid a clamp. For Athi River / Mavoko, that is paybill 1616160, account is your vehicle plate.
  2. Show both SMS to the marshal: the wrong-county SMS (proves intent to pay) plus the correct-county SMS (proves current compliance).
  3. Request a refund from the wrong county: visit the county revenue office with the M-PESA SMS, your ID, and your logbook. Refund processing usually takes 14 to 30 days and is not guaranteed.
  4. Keep both M-PESA SMS for at least 30 days. Report incorrect info if the paybill on this page did not match what the marshal accepted.

Most county paybills absorb the M-PESA fee (you pay only the parking rate), but confirm any amount with the M-PESA fees calculator.
