Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi civic movement uses M-PESA paybill 3033049 for donations. The paybill is registered under 'E Sifuna' — Sifuna's official name — because Linda Mwananchi has not been registered as a political party under the Political Parties Act. Sifuna explained on 21 July 2026 that the paybill uses his official name for that legal reason, and that the movement would publicly account for all funds raised. The account reference is your own Safaricom phone number. Sifuna's ask is small-donation grassroots — KES 10 per contributor — with the goal of a citizen-funded political movement ahead of 2027. Fundraising milestones publicly disclosed by Sifuna: KES 519,144 from 9,419 contributors (average KES 55, range KES 1-5,000) in the first 12 hours; KES 2,210,836 in the first 36 hours; over KES 6.5 million total per Sifuna's later disclosure. Safaricom briefly deactivated the paybill in late July 2026 (Sifuna alleged it was 'orders from above'); the paybill was restored within days. This is a Linda Mwananchi paybill listing. paybillke has no editorial position on the movement or its politics — we document the paybill because Kenyans searching for it deserve verified information rather than lookalike scam paybills exploiting the movement's visibility.
