Government has announced an ambitious plan to introduce at least 200 more public services on the online public portal Irembo by the end of this fiscal year. Currently, over 100 government services are accessible electronically via Irembo.
Irembo has made life so easy for Rwandans that the mere thought of how things were before it was introduced, only evokes nightmares.
With Irembo, life has become much easy, so much that one can easily access those services in the comfort of their home, using their mobile phone. With the increasing penetration of mobile phones in the country, more Rwandans are now able to easily access these services. While this has created jobs for thousands of our youths, it undermines the intended purpose establishing the Irembo portal because, that small cost that Rwandans seeking such services are forced to incur may be prohibitive to some people.
The good news is that the government, through the Ministry of ICT and Innovation has embarked on a vigorous digital literacy campaign that will see millions of Rwandans taught how to access these services without using third parties.
