Government Information Technology Officers Council
In recent weeks we have devoted the last two editions of this program to e-government – today we speak to the recently appointed chair of the council that is supposed to oversee many e-government functions.
GITOC is an acronym for the Government Information Technology Officers Council – a body created to serve as an IT co-ordination and consolidation vehicle in government
I spoke to Mmamathe-Makhekhe Mokhuane and asked her – what is e-government for:
IN: I think the main objective . . .
OUT: . . . at the end of the day
Mmamathe-Makhekhe Mokhuane the newly appointed Chairperson of GITOC.
While doing research for this program, I immediately thought I’d check out the GITOC web site – but guess what?
There isn’t one.
To find out more about this body that is essentially coordinating e- policy, you need to go to the web site of the department of Public Service and administration.
The site is at DPSA.gov.za – and once you get there you have to dig around.
Ms. Mokhuane did tell me however, that her council is working on a new web site.
So thats it from me, please tune in again next Wednesday for more Cybersurf.
