Government Offices to Acquire Internet Access

All Government ministries and departments will be accessed on the internet
as from June this year. National Security minister Chris Murungaru said
yesterday the ambitious programme, under which websites would be developed
for each ministry and department, would cost Sh2.5 billion spread over five
years. Dr Murungaru said the undertaking, a product of the e-government
strategy, would enable the Narc Government to deliver services efficiently
to the public. "The e-government will facilitate better and efficient
delivery of information and services to the citizens. It is a fundamental
element in modernisation of government," he said.
