He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to utilizing modern technology to enhance governance, directing all departments to adopt digital solutions for improved service delivery, increased transparency, and a more citizen-focused approach.

He emphasized that this initiative aims to conserve time, resources, and effort by minimizing paperwork and streamlining processes, ensuring that government services are delivered directly to the citizens’ doorsteps.
