For this reason, Huduma Kenya merges numerous related public services within one location, possibly on the same floor so that Kenyans can easily access them.
The first Huduma Center Nairobi was launched in 2013 by former President Uhuru Kenyatta alongside then Deputy William Ruto at the Teleposta Building in Nairobi.
Last month, President Ruto commissioned other Huduma centres; Kathwana, Maara and Marimanti Huduma Centres.
Huduma Kenya operationalised the two centres through equipment branding and staffing this initiative is geared towards deepening access to government services through Huduma Centres in the 290 constituencies.
Huduma Centres have undergone various transformations with some offering judiciary services. They include Nairobi GPO, City Square, Makadara, Kibra, Eastleigh and Kiambu. The Judicial desks at the centres are manned by Judiciary staff.
Some of the judicial services to be offered at Huduma Centre are filing of new civil cases, filing documents of existing cases and requests for and issuance of summons to enter an appearance, notice to appear in divorce cases, extracted court orders, decrees, certified and uncertified proceedings, copy of ruling/judgment.
