The Konza Technopolis on Wednesday, March 11 launched the first Standard ICT Hub in Ndeiya Sub-County, Kiambu County, where construction period is estimated at six months.

The hub, which is expected to be completed by July 2026, aims to enhance digital skills development, youth employment, and access to digital opportunities.

The proposed hub will cost KSh10.5 million for construction, exclusive of ICT equipment. The computer equipment is estimated at approximately KSh11 million, bringing the total investment to about KSh21.5 million which will accommodate approximately 130 users at any given time.

Konza Technopolis Director Peter Muchendu said the learning centre will be divided into two departments where 100 users, primarily for digital literacy training, coding, online learning, and ICT centre where the second department will accommodate about 30 users, designed to support digital innovation, content creation, and collaborative work.

Ndeiya Deputy County Commissioner Etiang Okaka said the hub will accommodate the youths, urging the Konza Technopolis — under the Ministry of ICT — in collaboration with Huduma Centre to consider introducing a mini Huduma Centre within the hub, something he says will reduce the distance of seeking government services.

Overall, the hub will serve as a digital empowerment centre, contributing to the growth of the digital economy and skills development in Kiambu County.
