Quwait's Council of Ministers (COM) have signed a contract to establish a portal to promote transparency and involve citizens in the governance process.
The new 'E.Portal' project will promote greater awareness of the decisions of the COM, and enable greater scrutiny by citizens. By publishing subsequent follow-up actions, the portal will also give a boost to accountability.
"We aim to develop and keep in track of today's technologies by implementing the best information technologies to achieve e-government," said Abdullah Ali Al-Duwailah Assistant Secretary General for Admin and Financial Affairs at Kuwait Council of Ministers, at the signing of a contract to establish the portal.
According to Al-Duwailah the portal will also help encourage other agencies of government to proceed with their own e-government initiatives, and foster greater awareness of the role of technology amongst the country's civil service.
