The number of persons visiting the Nyeri Huduma Center has risen steadily following the Government's directive requiring all pensioners to enlist themselves on an e-registration portal.
Nyeri Huduma Center Manager Maurice Barasa told KNA that between 150 and 200 retirees are visiting the premises on a daily basis to register on the new platform, pushing the total number of those visiting the facility to around 700.
The officer says the majority of those seeking services at the centre are those who were born before 1949 and who are not in a position to log into the new system on their own.
Barasa says they have already set up a help desk at the center to serve those coming to register as pensioners as one measure of expediting the process whose deadline is slated for February 28 this year. "Since the start of this month we have witnessed a surge in the number of persons visiting our centre due to the ongoing registration of persons currently on pension schemes.
