In a historic move, President William Ruto on Tuesday chaired the first paperless cabinet meeting, marking the beginning of a major government digitisation drive. The meeting was held at State House in Nairobi and saw the cabinet members discuss various issues concerning the nation’s progress. The paperless cabinet meeting is part of President Ruto’s vision to make Kenya a digitally advanced nation. The president said that by going digital, the government will be able to save time and resources while also improving efficiency and transparency. He added that it would also help reduce bureaucracy and paperwork associated with government processes. The meeting was attended by all cabinet secretaries as well as other senior government officials. During the session, they discussed ways to improve service delivery, streamline operations and create jobs for Kenyans. They also discussed plans to boost economic growth through improved infrastructure development and increased access to finance for small businesses. Speaking after the meeting, Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe praised President Ruto’s leadership in spearheading this initiative which he said will help Kenya join other countries in becoming more efficient in its operations. He added that this is an important step towards achieving Vision 2030 which seeks to transform Kenya into an industrialized middle-income country by 2030. This paperless cabinet meeting is expected to be followed up with other initiatives such as e-government services which will enable citizens to access government services online without having to visit physical offices or wait in long queues for days on end. This will significantly reduce corruption within public offices while also making life easier for citizens who are looking for information or assistance from their respective governments.
