“Our Huduma centers have been a popular source of government services for so many of us, and we must make sure they become self-sustainable." 

Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has hinted at the possibility of the government introducing fees for services offered at Huduma Centers.

In a statement via his X account on Monday, October 16, Kuria said the move will make Huduma Centers self-sustainable

“Our Huduma centers have been a popular source of government services for so many of us, and we must make sure they become self-sustainable without depending so much on the National Treasury. What of introducing a small fee for services offered?” he posed.

CS Kuria also disclosed that Huduma Centres may venture into e-commerce and provide private sector services at a small fee.

At the same time, Kuria said he will have a microscopic view of all projects done by National and County governments.

“We have no time to waste and everybody must be ready to work extra hard to make sure all these projects are completed on time. No time for laziness,” said Kuria.

He observed that transforming the National Youth Service (NYS) will be part of the radical changes he intends to implement in his new ministry.

“NYS will reengineer a great transformation in this country, wake up the Agricultural sector, revive manufacturing, incarcerate the culture of patriotism, which will be the tool of hope, and discipline to our youths,” Kuria said.

The Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management CS further said he will rebrand the Kenya School of Government to Africa School of Government where other African countries will be coming here for their training.
