Kwale County has launched a new digital platform portal designed to streamline the application and processing of business permits and citizen services.

The online platform service dubbed 'Kwale Electronic Development Application Permit System' (KEDAPS) aims to enhance efficiency, transparency, and user experience in these areas.

This new system through the Department of Environment, Natural Resources and Urban Planning in conjunction with the Finance and ICT Department, replaces the outdated manual process, offering a faster, more efficient, and transparent way for residents and investors to submit and track development proposals.

Governor Fatuma Achani says the initiative is part of the devolved government's ongoing reforms aimed at promoting digital transformation within its various agencies.
