CAMARINES Sur Rep. Miguel Luis “Migz” Villafuerte on Monday urged the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to work right away with local government units (LGUs) on establishing their respective electronic government or e-Gov platforms.
Villafuerte raised the call as the government is poised to implement the e-Governance Law.
He said the LGUs’ e-Gov platforms should be interlinked with the national digital framework “to speed up the nationwide switch to more efficient and transparent—and even graft-free—transactions with the public.”
Villafuerte said the recent release of the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for Republic Act 12254, or the “E-Governance Act,” should “clear the path for the DICT to engage local executives on developing or improving their e-Government platforms to accelerate our country’s digital transformation and ensure our people’s easy online access to government services.”
