Mochongoi Technical Institute welcomes students for May intake

Nairobi City County government has signed a partnership with Safaricom in a bid to digitize its services and operations.

Safaricom will develop and support the App dubbed “My Nairobi App” as part of the Nairobi Hub that will provide digital services and citizen engagement.

“We cannot look at Nairobi as what it used to be rather than what it must be. We must be audacious enough to say Nairobi is the African Capital and it is a must to make it account for something”. Said Governor Sakaja

Governor Sakaja said that Nairobi City County Government should be able to serve the people from the comforts of wherever they are.

“Seventy percent (70%) of challenges and opportunities can be sorted by technology and my Nairobi App will enable the County offer services to the people of Nairobi”, Said the county boss.

Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Peter Ndegwa said that Governor Sakaja has a future he envisions and technology and innovation was part of that future.

“Digitizing services will help citizen feel it is easier to engage with the county”, said Ndegwa.

He further said that consequences of paying for services is just an outcome of getting great service rather than the payment being a primary approach.

“At Safaricom, since Nairobi County is our home, we are committed to making a highway on which Nairobi County can use this platform as much as you would like on digital service”, said Mr. Mungania.

County Executive Committee Member for Finance and Economic Planning, Charles Kerich said that the county needs a pleasant dashboard that people can interact with and have an easy experience.

He further said that very many organizations have been looking for interactions with the County before but with the leadership of the Governor and the Deputy Governor, it has now become possible.

The 'My Nairobi Hub' will be available in other digital channels including on the Mpesa Super App and through USSD short code.

The Hub will also include an engagement channel known as 'Bonga na Sakaja' which will enable Nairobi residents engage with the County and share feedback towards improved services.

In addition to the “My Nairobi Hub”, Safaricom will support the County to design digital channels, integrate County backend services and to develop a payment gateway and infrastructure to ensure high availability of services.

Mochongoi Technical and Vocational College was established in September 2019 majorly to help students from Baringo and Laikipia counties acquire technical skills.

It is a center of excellence in fashion design and clothing technology. The school is strategically located a few meters from Kabel Trading Centre, off Marigat-Karandi-Nyahururu Road. It is also accessible from Laikipia’s side.

“Our institution is located in a serene, secure and conducive learning environment. We call on students to enroll for May and September 2023 intakes” Principal Benjamin Kimitei said.

Kimitei said they are expecting at least 300 students next month-May and 200 more in the September- December intake.

However the institute is planning to mobilize funds to purchase a bus or a van to ease transportation for both staff and students.

He said local leaders and donors have also willed to sink a borehole in the school compound to address water scarcity and improve road network connecting the learning facility.
