Speaking to the press on Wednesday at Maseno School during the launch of digital laboratories, Owalo says the high cost of smart phones has locked many Kenyans from consuming government services which are now on digital platforms.

“The affordability of smartphones has been a major hindrance to digital inclusion of many Kenyans and that is why as a government we have resolved to produce the gadgets locally,” he said.

Owalo says the government has laid digital infrastructure across the country and the handsets will now be handy to be used by the majority of Kenyans.

The low-cost smartphones will be assembled at the Konza Technopolis in Machakos County.
