ZAMPORTAL and Teams Enable Lupososhi Official to Print Road Tax Locally
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to advance government digitalisation by connecting public institutions and equipping officials with the skills needed to use digital platforms effectively.
A Lupososhi District Administration official has successfully printed a road tax document from his office following the deployment of digital connectivity and orientation on online government platforms.
The development followed the installation of connectivity at the Lupososhi District Administration by the Northern Provincial ICT Unit, alongside a virtual orientation on the use of Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook and Zamportal.
The training was conducted after the district administration was connected to the platforms, with the aim of improving service delivery and supporting the government’s digital transformation agenda.
In a notable demonstration of the benefits of the new digital access, a district official was able to print his road tax from his office in Lupososhi instead of travelling to Kasama to obtain the document, which was due to expire in early September.
“This is the efficiency we are talking about. No more long journeys to Kasama for simple services,” said Lastings Sichangwa, Provincial Principal ICT Officer.
The development highlights how improved digital connectivity and familiarity with online government platforms can bring public services closer to citizens and reduce the time and costs associated with accessing essential services.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to advance government digitalisation by connecting public institutions and equipping officials with the skills needed to use digital platforms effectively.
