Brunei's national online portal is now expected to be up and running within the first quarter of next year, the recently-promoted Deputy Permanent Secretary (IT and E-government) at the Prime Minister's Office disclosed yesterday.
Following a technology forum yesterday at The Empire Hotel and Country Club, Hj Azhar Hj Ahmad informed reporters that the e-Government National Centre (EGNC) is currently working on the first of three stages for the national portal, which will eventually enable the public to access the services offered by the government online.
The first stage of the portal's implementation will see the available "e-services" listed on the portal, while the latter two stages would provide for citizen-to-government transactions and incorporate public interaction features.
