“Huduma centres play a pivotal role in this country. This will ensure Kenyans have access to government services. This is again a legacy that will trail behind President Uhuru Kenyatta,” said the former Nairobi county speaker.

The CAS adds that the decentralization of Huduma centres will address the challenge of inaccessibility of government services to Kenyans.

She lauded Huduma centre staffs for their commitment and dedication to serving Kenyans

“We understand that we have the best staff in these centres. You will be served by dedicated Kenyans in these centres,” said the CAS.

 The CAS However said “one of the challenges facing Huduma service delivery is the long queues. I believe this is because Kenyans have now developed trust for the service,”

There are 52 Huduma centres spread out across the country where Kenyans flock in multitudes of numbers to access government services.

The services range from issuance of birth certificates, identification cards, National Social Security Fund cards among others.
