At the Ministry Headquarters, the Cabinet Secretary, H.E. Hon. William Kabogo Gitau, E.G.H. met Magdalene Kariuki, Country Director of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI).
Their discussions focused on the ongoing efforts to establish effective mechanisms for transitioning from paper-based degree certificates to secure Digital Verifiable Credentials that can be authenticated seamlessly through trusted digital systems.
