Local lawmakers in Kilifi, Kenya, are advocating for a more localized approach to digital hubs aimed at supporting small traders. The MPs emphasized that current digital hubs are not adequately addressing the unique needs of their communities. Instead, they proposed that these hubs should be adapted to reflect the specific circumstances of the areas they serve. This call comes as part of broader efforts to enhance economic opportunities for local entrepreneurs. The debate highlights growing concerns about the effectiveness of standardized digital infrastructure in rural and semi-urban regions. By tailoring digital hubs to local contexts, the MPs hope to better integrate technology into daily economic activities. The proposal is part of ongoing discussions on how to improve digital access and support small businesses in the region.
