[kictanet] How Digital is our Government?

[Ali Hussein]

Well written article. I would agree with you on all points. What is critical at this point is a master plan on how Government intends to get to the transactional and transformative stages.

And we need not re-invent the wheel. There are benchmarks to follow. Good examples will be the Government of Dubai and Singapore. And no need for visits either to these city states :) the cases and frameworks can all be found online. For free.

But do we all have the same understanding of what digital government is? Does reading government speeches from a Touch-pad imply the government is digital? Or is it about having high-ranking government officials being active on social media like Facebook and twitter? Perhaps, for many others, digital government may simply imply giving laptops to standard one pupils.  So what exactly is digital government?
