Twenty-five government forms will be made available online next year to create ease of access for citizens utilising government services, Minister of Public Telecommunications Catherine Hughes announced yesterday.

Hughes made the announcement in the National Assembly during the second day of the debate of the government’s proposed 2019 national budget.

“There is no doubt that the appropriate utilisation of Information, Communication Technologies (ICTs) can improve the lives of all Guyanese… the transformational effect the use of ICTs can have especially on small developing states and the corresponding positive impact on national development is real. As government, we recognise this and see ICT as an overall cross-cutting component in our national vision to obtain developed country status in the coming years,” Hughes said in her opening statement.
