MASERU – The government through the Ministry of Information, Communications, Science, Technology and Innovation (MICSTI) is committed to building a digitally empowered nation.
These sentiments were shared by MICSTI Minister, Ms. Nthati Moorosi during the launch of National Digital Transformation Strategy and Ministerial Strategy event held in Maseru on Wednesday.
The two-day event being broadcast live on different government’s communication platforms has brought together stakeholders in the digital sphere.
Minister Moorosi expressed gratitude over the milestone seeking to ensure all enjoy digital services and other benefits prior to 2030 Agenda.
She explained the two strategies serve as powerful tools aimed at reshaping the country’s economy as well as elevating service delivery.
Ms. Moorosi stated the launch happens at an opportune time when not only is she Chief Digital Officer but when Lesotho is Chair of African Union Specialised Technical Committee on Communication and Information Communication Technology.
Similarly, the Ministry’s Principal Secretary (PS) Mr. Kanono Ramashamole said the launch further comes at the time when 100 percent broadband coverage has successfully been achieved.
Broadband is said to be a high speed internet connection which also has more reliable transmission than the traditional dial-up connections. . . .
