In an exclusive interview with KBC Muthaura said the introduction of ICT would seal loopholes of corruption and aid in the realization of national development goals.
The full implementation of ICT in the public service sector has been the main priority of the government with high expectations that this will help in the realization of objectives stipulated in government's development blueprint, Vision 2030.
E-Government is also expected to at least bring down corruption indices in public institutions.
Muthaura says to achieve this objective, there has to be co-operation among public servants whose interests have also been highlighted.
Muthaura said some success has been recorded in corruption fighting since the Government established the e-Government Programme in June 2004.
Though hampered by technological challenges, the government says it is making remarkable progress in benefiting the citizenry with better access to information, more efficient government management and improved interactions.
