Because more than half of Kazakhs use the internet, the government is moving more aggressively toward a complete slate of e-government offerings, according to a May 19 briefing to President Nursultan Nazarbayev, media reported.
Askar Zhumagaliyev, Kazakh Minister of Transport and Communications, told Nazarbayev that the UN ranked the country 38th in terms of developing e-government and said the goal is to have all socially important public services available online, hopefully by the end of 2013, caspionet.kz reported.
About 53% of Kazakhstan’s 16m residents use the internet, he said. That percentage is twice as in 2010.
