The Kenyan Ministry of Planning and Devolution will open ten more Huduma centres from July 1 this year to provide government services to the public under one roof.
Huduma centres, which allow Kenyans to access government services by themselves through one-stop-shop self-service kiosks, were launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta last year, and have since been established in four locations – the General Post Office (GPO), City Square, Makadara and Machakos County Headquarters.
Centres are also set to become operational in Kakamega, Kisumu, Nyeri, Nakuru, Mombasa, Embu, Kisii, Eldoret, Kajiado and Eastleigh.
Speaking in Kakamega town flanked by Kakamega county governor Wycliffe Oparanya, Ministry of Planning and Devolution principal secretary Eng Peter Mang’iti said the centres will offer services that are provided by both the national government and county governments.
“The Huduma centre is like a supermarket of government services under one roof,” said Mangiti, while Oparanya thanked the government for setting up the facility in Kakamega, saying it will go a long way to make services easily available to local residents.
