Buuri Constituency in Kenya established seven digital hubs across its five wards to provide residents with better access to online services and jobs.
Member of Parliament Rindikiri Mugambi completed the project, surpassing the original goal of placing at least one hub in every ward. These new facilities are located in Ontulili, Timau, Kisima, Kibirichia, Kiirua, and Tutua. A seventh hub sits at the Kiirua Technical Training Institute as part of a plan to provide digital infrastructure to vocational education centers.
John Kipchumba Tanui, a government official in Kenya’s State Department of ICT and Digital Economy, said the hubs will help young people learn digital skills and find entrepreneurship opportunities. The initiative aims to build an inclusive digital economy by moving infrastructure closer to local communities. Tanui described the constituency as a model for other regions in Kenya to follow.
