Plans are underway to construct a modern headquarter for the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy at Konza Technopolis in Makueni County.
The headquarters will host the State Department for Broadcasting and Telecommunications, State Agencies that include the Directorates of Information and Public Communication, State Department of ICT and the Digital Economy, as well ICT Authority.
Chairing a planning committee of the project at Telposta Towers, Nairobi, the Director Administration State Department for ICT, Mr Wesley Maritim said the construction is one of the important flagships for the ministry as it is house all the departments in one locality.
Noting that some of the departmental offices currently operate in rental premises where they pay huge sums of money, Mr Maritim said the Headquarters will therefore save a lot of resources as well as ease administrative work. "This project will save a lot of money, currently some of the offices operate in rental buildings and in different locations," he said.
