In Brief

- •The facility, which has been operational since July, represents the 61st Huduma Centre in Kenya and the second in Kirinyaga County after Kerugoya.

Why It Matters
The opening of the Mwea Huduma Centre reduces travel time and transport expenses for local residents who previously had to journey to Kerugoya or Embu for primary government services. By offering single-location access to identity and taxation records, the center decentralizes governance and enhances administrative efficiency in Kirinyaga County. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Jitume ICT Hub provides local youth with technical infrastructure to participate in digital economy opportunities and freelance work.
