“This is a major boost for our country’s efforts to become a global and regional leader in technology,” Ruto said. “It is also a testament to the hard work and dedication of our young people, who are increasingly driving innovation and entrepreneurship in the tech sector.”
The AWS development centre is located in Nairobi and will be staffed by a team of highly skilled engineers and other professionals.
The centre will focus on developing and hosting a wide range of cloud computing services, including computing, storage, database, and analytics services.
