The budget is an important move the government has taken in the previous two years under President Samia Hassan’s leadership, according to Mr. Kundo Mathew, the deputy minister for information, communication, and information technology, who made the statement at the 5th Innovation and Technology Forum in Dar es Salaam.
According to information presented at a conference in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday, the Tanzanian government has spent over Sh400 billion over the previous two years enhancing and strengthening the nation’s communication infrastructure.
The forum, which had as its theme “Innovating policy — a forward-looking and integrated approach to policy-making in the digital age,” was crucial, according to him, for identifying the problems and obstacles that slow down the rapid growth of the communication and ICT industries.
