“We should rid people of the need to go to offices, get their nerves frayed in queues to get elementary papers from the Technical Inventory Bureau, the social welfare agencies, house-maintenance directorates, passport offices and reception desks in polyclinics. Therefore in the coming years we should install the system of providing government and municipal services electronically. We are talking about information service portals, integrated communications channels, and departmental and regional databases.”
