Kenya’s Digital Leap: MICDE Pilots Paperless Government System
MICDE pilots paperless government services, enhancing efficiency and transparency, with support from the Tony Blair Institute in e-government and digital transformation.
The Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy (MICDE) has started piloting paperless correspondence in order to eliminate bureaucracies that slow down delivery of services.
Speaking when he met a delegation from Tony Blair Institute, MICDE CS Hon. William Kabogo Gitau noted that going paperless promotes transparency.
It will be easy to track and trace progress of projects implementation and provision of services. This will be rolled out in all government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) after the piloting phase.– Hon. William Kabogo Gitau, CS, MICDE
He appreciated the support from various partners who are keen to see the success of the paperless initiative and other digital programs. Adding that he is determined to accelerate ongoing programs.
In her remarks, Tony Blair Institute’s Regional Director for East Africa Joanne Mutungi shared how they are supporting the Ministry majorly in the areas of e-government and e-commerce.
Mutungi reaffirmed the Institute’s support for the Ministry’s programs, noting that technology is instrumental for the realization of successful leadership.
She was accompanied by Faith Gitonga, the Institute’s acting Country Director and Head of Technology, Charles Kinyeki and Frida Inchoga who are actively supporting the Ministry.
