New apps to be launched for ‘more transparent’ gov’t transactions – President 

Four new government software applications (apps) will be launched soon to make service delivery more efficient and transparent, according to President Dr Irfaan Ali.

The Guyanese Head of State spoke about these plans on Saturday at the opening of the TOTALTEC-owned Soma Hotel in Houston, Greater Georgetown. These ventures are part of a wider government thrust to digitise services nationally.

“In another six weeks, we will be meeting with the private sector and launching four government apps to allow you to conduct business in a transparent manner,” President Ali said.

Dr. Ali said his government is embracing technology to hold itself more accountable. That means workers and officials will be monitored and service delivery should, overall, improve.

Last month, President Ali stated that his government is pursuing an ambitious national digitisation programme driven by a strategic focus on digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI), cross-agency collaboration, and the integration of ICT systems, which will see most government services fully digitised before the end of the second quarter in 2026.
