Kenya Launches Ndumberi Jitume Centre, Celebrates 200 Digital Skills Graduates

Hon. William Kabogo Gitau has reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to expanding digital connectivity and equipping young people with market-ready skills as part of the country’s ongoing ICT development initiatives.

At an official event marking the launch of the Ndumberi Jitume Centre, Hon. Kabogo also officiated the graduation ceremony for the Module Class of 2025, celebrating 200 graduates from Cohorts One and Two. The training, which ran from May to November, provided participants with practical skills in areas such as Virtual Assistance, Digital Marketing, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Financial Literacy, Data Analysis, Data Entry, Entrepreneurship, and Content Creation — all critical competencies for success in the digital economy.

Hon. Kabogo noted that just last month, 54 students graduated from the same Digital Hub, and an additional 100 youths are already on the waiting list for the next enrolment, signaling strong demand and enthusiasm among Kenyan youth for digital skills.

During his address, he also highlighted key government initiatives under the Kenya Kwanza Administration, including reforms by the Social Health Authority, the Affordable Housing programme, and the dualling of the Muthaiga–Ndumberi Road, which aims to reduce traffic congestion. He encouraged residents to focus on the tangible progress being made rather than misleading narratives, noting that the government remains steadfast in delivering its promises.

Aligned with the BETA Digital Superhighway and Creative Economy Pillar, Hon. Kabogo revealed plans to establish 1,450 Digital Hubs nationwide. The government is also constructing 100,000 km of national fibre-optic infrastructure and setting up 25,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots across urban and rural areas, all designed to expand broadband access, accelerate digital transformation, and unlock economic opportunities for all Kenyans.
