Kenya is moving to broaden its collaboration with Huawei, after Deputy President Kithure Kindiki hosted Huawei Kenya chief executive Gao Fei in Nairobi on 30 June to discuss deeper public-private partnerships in information-technology infrastructure and training. The meeting, attended by senior lawmakers and government officials, forms part of the administration’s wider strategy to strengthen digital skills and modernise national connectivity. The talks build on Huawei’s DigiTruck initiative—solar-powered mobile classrooms that provide free training in online safety, digital marketing and basic coding to young people in remote areas. Nominated MP Irene Mayaka said the skills are “gateways to global opportunities and financial independence”, adding that the programme underpins Kisii County’s entrepreneurial drive. Huawei and the government are exploring ways to scale the DigiTruck model nationally and link it with forthcoming broadband and data-centre investments. Officials said the expanded partnership will help position Kenya as an East African technology hub while equipping more citizens for jobs in the digital economy.
