HUDUMA MASHINANI PHASE II BEGINS IN THANGE WARD

Hundreds of residents of Thange Ward on Thursday turned up at Kasasule as the County Government of Makueni launched Phase II of the Huduma Mashinani programme, bringing key government services closer to wananchi.

Residents accessed services including national ID registration, birth and death certificates, voter registration, KRA PIN processing, HELB support, police abstracts and NSSF registration.

County Executive Committee Member for Gender, Children, Youth, Sports and Social Services Sebastian Kyoni said the second phase followed the successful completion of Phase I, which served more than 80,000 residents across the county.

Among those served was 80-year-old Tabitha Kinyanzii of Muumoni Village, who, alongside three other residents, began the process of acquiring a national identity card for the first time.

The programme is one of Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr.’s flagship initiatives aimed at improving access to government services.
