Marsabit: MP Guyo Jaldesa Announces Moyale to Get First Huduma Centre

In another historic milestone since Moyale Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Prof. Guyo Jaldesa took office, the constituency has witnessed a sounding influx of development, with the latest being construction of first Huduma Centre.

The new critical government program to bring services near to the people,  was successful lobbied by Jaldesa, days after successfully lobbying for a Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) in the area, which was approved and budget allocated for by the national government.

Speaking in his constituency, Jaldesa said that the new Huduma Centre will make it easier for residents to acquire crucial government documents including birth certificates, National IDs, passports and other government services.

“I am pleased to announce that the Government has approved the establishment of a Huduma Centre in Moyale. This will ease access to key services like ID registration, birth certificates, and more,” Prof. Jaldesa announced.

Easing the 260 KM to access Huduma centre from Moyale, Ruku added that the services that residents struggle to acquire in Marsabit Town will be brought in the area.

Ruku assured residents that the Ministry will include the construction of the Centre is budgeted in the next supplementary budget, to ensure online governments are easily accessed by residents.

 “We are closely working with Prof. Jaldesa to ensure that we have Huduma Centre in Moyale. As a government, we want to ensure that all Huduma Services are accessed by residents of Moyale. As directed by the president youths, elders and women will get IDs through the Centre without questioning. Get your IDs like all other Kenyans,” Ruku added.

The announcement was made during a development tour by Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku, who was in the county to flag off relief food distribution on Thursday, July 24.

The opening of the facility is a great boost to the lift on the compulsory vetting of residents during application of IDs by President William Ruto during development tour in North Eastern region. Ruto scrapped off the vetting process which has been in place since independence, terming it discriminative.

Leaders in the region welcomed the move, which saw applications of new IDs rise with 18%, with a majority being the youths, and elders who had been locked by the vetting.
