Mohammed Saidan, Head of Network Section at the Office of the Dhofar Governor and Minister’s Office, termed this to be an e-focus effort by the government to get the different departments functioning within an electronic framework that should make for more transparent and focused government services and facilities to people in the area. “One way or the other, everyone is connected electronically. Some kind of training will pave the way for greater e-government services,” he said.
