adminGOVERNMENT is committed to ensuring that investors have enough information on all that is needed before investing in Zimbabwe as well as trying to bring all the offices in the processing of requisite documents together, a senior official has said.
Senior principal director (Affairs and Knowledge Management) in the Office of the President and Cabinet Ambassador Mary Mubi told a media workshop in Harare on Tuesday that Government wanted information on what is needed to invest in Zimbabwe and all other general information about the country to be readily available.
“By this we are going to promote the use of ICTs to ensure that people have access to all the relevant information they would want to know. We want to encourage e-governance where some Government forms can be accessed through the internet,” she said.
Amb Mubi said Government also wanted to ensure that even those processes that were done manually were co-ordinated so that people did not have to move from one office to another seeking a service.
“We want to say those who offer services targeted at certain groups must come together. You move from one desk to another in the same room not from one office to another. We want things to be done in the shortest time possible to encourage efficiency.”
