NAIROBI, KENYA – The Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding access to technology and digital skills through the rollout of digital hubs across the country.
Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo Gitau appeared before a joint sitting of the National Assembly Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation and the NG-CDF Committee to present progress on the Digital Hubs Project.
During the session chaired by John Kiarie and Musa Sirma, the CS outlined key milestones, challenges, and measures being implemented to fast-track the initiative.
“The Ministry will continue to engage stakeholders as it expands access to technology and skills and create jobs through the establishment of digital hubs across the country.”
Kabogo acknowledged the support from Members of Parliament, noting that collaboration has been critical in advancing the government’s digital transformation agenda under William Ruto.
The Ministry reported that over 300 digital hubs are already operational, supported by more than 20,000 devices. A structured plan is currently in place to ensure that 101 completed hubs are fully equipped, staffed, and functional within the next two months.
Additionally, 199 more hubs are under construction across 22 constituencies and will be rolled out progressively once completed.
The CS emphasized that each hub is designed to serve as a center for digital skills development, innovation, and job creation, particularly targeting young people.
To address implementation challenges, the Ministry is streamlining coordination among agencies involved in the project to ensure efficiency and timely delivery.
The initiative forms a key pillar of the government’s broader plan to build an inclusive digital economy by ensuring that every hub is fully equipped, connected, and accessible to communities across the country.
