The Ministry of
Information, Communications and Digital Economy, led by Cabinet Secretary Eliud
Owalo, has launched a constituency digital hub in Kajiado East, marking a
significant milestone in the government's initiative to establish 1,450 digital
hubs across the country. The launch was attended by Kajiado East MP Hon. Kakuta
Maimai, Dr. Joselyn Nkonge, Principal of Kajiado East Technical and Vocational
College, Julius Ole Ntaiya, representing the Chairman of the Board of
Governors, and other government officials.
This initiative, under
the leadership of H.E. President Dr. William Samoei Ruto, aims to provide
digital skills training and job creation opportunities for the youth. In the
past year alone, the program has successfully trained 390,968 youth and created
139,071 digital jobs, demonstrating its impact and potential for growth.
The digital hub in
Kajiado East will serve as a hub for digital innovation, providing a platform
for young people to acquire essential skills in the digital economy. This will
enable them to compete effectively in the global job market and contribute to the
country's economic growth.
The government's
commitment to investing in digital infrastructure and youth empowerment is
evident in this initiative. By establishing digital hubs in each ward, the
government aims to bridge the digital divide and ensure that every young person
has access to digital opportunities, regardless of their location.
The launch of the Kajiado
East digital hub is a testament to the government's dedication to creating a
digitally enabled economy and empowering the youth to drive innovation and
growth. As the country continues to navigate the digital landscape, initiatives
like this will play a crucial role in shaping its future.
