However, Huduma Kenya noted that Kenyans, who will seek services from the other four Huduma centers in Nairobi, would not need to book an appointment. The same case also applies to the other 51 Huduma centers in the country. 

Last month, Huduma Kenya temporarily shut down some branches to allow fumigation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“Taking into account the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Nairobi in the past week and the high number of customer traffic we are experiencing, we will be temporarily closing Nairobi Huduma centres for fumigation,” said Huduma Kenya.
