The Realization of 24-hour Economy can be Realized if Kenya can do these

The benefits that can be accrued from a 24 hours economy are enormous. Time is now ripe for Kenyan Government to start investing seriously towards the realization of the same. Our president Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta during his inauguration speech directed that beginning  1st Dec 2017, power charges will be reduced by half for the manufacturers who will be carrying on their businesses from 10:00 pm in the night and 6:00 am in the morning. This move was applaud-able able as it will go a long way in facilitating the creation of wealth and jobs.

However, it is my humble opinion that such efforts should also be directed towards some of the public sector areas where because of the high demand of services from Kenyans, people usually spend even days before they are attended to. This delay in services provision has contributed profoundly to spread of corruption as people seek for instant services.

To this end I feel the following government institutions need to be turned into 24 hours service delivery centers, because of the huge congestion's they experience during the day:

1 Ministry of land registries countrywide

2 Registrations of birth registries

3 Huduma Centers

4 Kenya Revenue Authority offices

5 Kenya Power and Lighting Company county headquarters

6 Public universities

If this is realized it will not only complement the current efforts and investment made by the government towards the realization of 24 hours economy, but it will also aid in the reduction of corruption, ease the burden of service delivery, reduce congestion in our cities, create job opportunities and  propel our country towards the realization of the vision 2030.
