Estonia has invited Kenya's public and private sector players to learn more about e-government benefits by logging into Estonia Briefing Centre portal, which promotes Estonia's innovations and fosters international business connections for local ICT companies.
This is part of Estonia's global campaign to celebrate the final step towards 100 percent digitization of its government services.
Joel Karubiu, Estonia's Export advisor in Kenya and Eastern Africa said that Kenya has made significant strides to ensure that many of the citizen services can be accessed digitally explaining that for Estonia, they began with issuance of digital identity cards(e-IDs) for all its nationals 20 years ago and has been the cornerstone of the country's e-state activities. "The e-ID and its ecosystem are used by citizens' for daily transactions from paying bills, voting online, signing contracts, shopping, accessing health information, and much more.
Some other interesting services handled online in Estonia include the E-marriage which enables people to get married by submitting a marriage application online via the e-population register," he said.
