The Brunei government should capitalise on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to reach out to the people in the country's drive to promote and develop e-government, a United Nations e-government expert said here yesterday.
Richard Kerby, the inter-regional adviser on e-Government and Knowledge Management for the e-Government branch of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, explained that getting on social networking platforms will help the government connect with the media-savvy masses, especially the younger generation.
This, he said, would work alongside maintaining existing national online portals, where e-services are provided.
