In keeping with the tenets of Government’s Vision 2020 operational plan, Taylor said: “The Government of Trinidad and Tobago is focused on creating a public sector in which the ‘delivery of predictable, world class and technologically savvy services to our people’ is the norm rather than the exception.” Public institutions must be high performance professional entities effectively and efficiently meeting the needs of all their clients.”
The minister highlighted the national information communication technology (ICT) plan fast forward as one of the ways in which the Government “continues to pursue the maximum deployment of ICT for improved operational efficiency, productivity, accountability, availability and transparency in the public service.
He said through e-government, his ministry was able to make the new revised laws of TT available online to citizens of this country as well as other persons in other countries. “Since the launch of this service, there have been more than 170,000 visitors to the laws online link and the Ministry of Legal Affairs has received positive feedback about the service in this Honourable House and elsewhere,” Taylor stated.
Explaining that e-government initiatives “continue to be given high priority at the Ministry of Legal Affairs,” Taylor reminded MPs that in 2007 the Registrar-General’s Department offered an online search facility of current companies and business records. “Last year, the service was expanded to include an online search facility of all companies and businesses including historical records,” Taylor said. The minister added that the information available to him indicates that 6,000 records which previously could only have been viewed by visiting the Registrar General’s Department in person were accessed electronically.”
