He added that the government was also hoping to get people to access ICT infrastructure in the country.
“The local government intends to put more efforts in service delivery to local communities as new technologies spread across the country,” he said.
“We plan to map ICT infrastructure so that all people can get access to available facilities across the country,” he added.
This comes at a time when the country is entering its third phase of a 5-year ICT policy.
The PS added that use of mobile phone technology has greatly contributed to the good results.
“Use of SMS has already brought great results.”
“For instance, recently we could follow the whole evolution of the flood disaster in Northern Province and even get pictures by using smart phones.” he said
The use of websites and social media such as Facebook and Twitter are an efficient way to interact with people and get their feedback and this further boosts up the ICT usage levels in the country thus stepping up on the use of ICT.
