The bold move is expected to significantly reduce the cost of printing and enhance security of Cabinet records. President Ruto said the digitisation of cabinet meetings was a clear signal that the Government was going digital. He said it will enhance service delivery by fostering efficiency and eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy in government.
“Kenyans will be able to access government services from anywhere, from their home or offices, without having to go unnecessarily to government offices and wait in long queues,” he said. A paperless system is in line with President Ruto’s climate change initiative.
