Deputy President William Ruto has praised the newly launched Nairobi Data Centre.
Ruto said the centre was the beginning of the transformation of the city and a testimony of the Government’s commitment to improving the lives of Kenyans.
The DP was speaking on Monday during the launch of the center by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The Nairobi City County’s data centre is part of the county government’s ICT transformation roadmap to boost service delivery through digital solutions.
President Kenyatta said one area that will benefit from the collaboration between the two levels of government is in land ownership where the move from manual paper-based service to the digital platform will ensure residents receive their title deeds in good time.
“It is our intention to ensure what the people of Nairobi have been waiting for a long time – which is the ability to have titles to their own land – is delivered,” President Kenyatta said.
Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko said apart from improving service delivery to Nairobi residents, the data centre will also boost the county’s revenue collection by ensuring people do not evade paying for services delivered.
