Plans are underway for construction of Huduma Center at Mikinduri in Tigania East, in Meru County, Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Public Service, Human Capital Development and Special Programmes Geoffrey Ruku has said.
Speaking at New Zion Church during a thanksgiving ceremony, the CS said the center will ensure provision of Huduma Smart Serikalini in the Constituency.
He said the aim of the government is to have such centers in every sub county to enhance service delivery to all Kenyans.
“The purpose of any government is to serve its citizens. In view of this we have a plan to have centers in every corner of this republic to ensure access of essential government services to every Kenyan citizen,” said Mr Ruku.
The CS also reviewed the government’s infrastructural development projects in the area urging the residents to rally behind the government for the prosperity of the region and the entire County at large.
He said the government, through the ministry of Roads and Transport is constructing Mikinduri – Kunati – Gatithini road to bitumen standards at a cost of Sh3.1billion.
“This is an ongoing project as we speak and the construction of Tigania East Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Campus in Muthara ward is in good progress,” said Mr Ruku.
