I always ask myself when I read these headlines, government offices may be connected e-wise, but are the people connected? Are our own government officials switched on to offer e-government or are they still doing things analogue. What of citizens? Are they on e-gov?

I hope the government continues engaging stakeholders as has been the case in the last ten years, this will help in greater adoption of this electronic services. I was sad last week when i could not get a critical government service because the relevant government website had been hacked. This are issues that can be addressed collaboratively. We are what we are because a couple of years ago we embraced the multi-stakeholder model and worked together and this is the same spirit we should maintain.
