Azerbaijani President: Our transition to principles of e-government will be very effective factor in fight against corruption
Baku, July 16 (AZERTAC). “Our transition to the principles of e-government will be a very effective factor in the fight against corruption,” President Ilham Aliyev said at a meeting of the Cabinet to discuss outcomes of the socio-economic development in the first half of 2011.
“In general, we must strive to eliminate civil servant-citizen contacts as far as possible. It is now possible to obtain different information and documents through the Internet, electronically. Registration should also be conducted via the Internet. All these issues are listed in the special order I have signed. According to it, every ministry and government agency is to submit suggestions on which of their services should be provided electronically. Let there be no delays with that. This order and its execution are under my direct supervision.”
According to the Head of State, “suggestions must be submitted soon. After that even more serious steps will be taken. The fight against corruption and bribery is yielding results, good results.”
