Public Telecommunications ministry to digitise employee records

The Ministry of Public Telecommunications is preparing to roll out a pilot project that will see the digitisation of all employee records.

This is according to the ministry’s Permanent Secretary Derrick Cummings, who told reporters at a press conference last week that the initiative is aimed at eliminating the issues associated with keeping paper records.

He explained that Cabinet has been mulling the idea of going paperless and the pilot project is aimed at testing the viability of such an initiative.

The project, Cummings said, will commence before the end of 2019 and is being implemented by the ministry’s Industry and Innovation Department.
