Government services and information can now be accessed online.
An online portal spearheaded by KenyaICT Board now allows users access to essential documents and Government services in the Internet.
It also allows users to interact with Government officials.
Launching the portal, Information PS Bitange Ndemo said it aims at disseminating vital information quickly.
The information will now be available on the one-stop online platform: www.information.go.ke.
"The Government is committed to providing information to ensure citizens access it easily and faster," said Dr Ndemo during the launch at KICC in Nairobi, yesterday.
Record history
Ndemo said Kenya’s history since 1963 would be compiled and availed through the portal.
Acting ICT Secretary, Directorate of E-Government, John Sergon, said digitisation of key Government records was on.
Next month, the much-awaited Fibre Optic Cable (Teams) will land in Mombasa to open up the country to high speed and reliable Internet connection.
Since most Kenyans now access Internet through mobile phones, Ndemo said his ministry had written to Treasury to have the gadgets zero-rated.
