In keeping with President Uhuru’s Jubilee Government pledge to connect five towns to free Wi-Fi, Kisumu County is set to become the second major town in Kenya after Nakuru to have a free Wi-Fi installation.
Once operational, the facility will enable residents to register their business online, pay for their licenses as well as accessing other important information like agricultural and government programs
The Wi-Fi infrastructure will be used to enhance the existing websites in the Country to enable citizens to engage directly with the County governments
Sponsored by State House Digital Team headed by Dennis Itumbi, the facility will consist of 16 economic sectors and cover a radius of 10 Kilometers from the Central Business District.
A Digital Impact centre will also be constructed to offer training to the residents. The facility will enable residents to register their business online, pay for their licenses as well as accessing other important agricultural information.
The digital facility’s coverage will incorporate hotspots areas, markets and villages and is to be officially launched later on this year in mid May.
The project is to be extended to other regions of the county in the next one year.
Kigali in Rwanda became the first city in East Africa through its ‘Smart Kigali’ initiative in September 2013 to offer free internet connectivity in parts of the city.
