I do concur with vinyltroso. These APIs have been there for some time. I was informed that Safaricom is working on STK push (M-PESA menu) for direct debit, but at the moment they have a checkout service that uses USSD push to capture the customer's Bonga PIN for C2B transactions authorization.

I really don't thinks so, those API’s have been available for a long time (the b2c,c2b and b2b). So this is nothing new. The new changes that people want are the ones where you debit the customer e.g for shortcodes before a user can access a service he is presented with the mpesa menu to pay for the service, this is known as auto debit. This is already being done by other platforms like Airtel and MTN however when you ask safaricom about this they say…”not being shared due to regulator objection.”
