The Ministry of ICT and National Guidance has noted with concern
malicious online media reports regarding a September 2023
request to utilise the Non-Tax Revenue (NTR) collected by one of
our line agencies.
This is to CLARIFY that the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development early this year granted approval for use of the funds to the Ministry of ICT & National Guidance in execution of its activities. Therefore, the claims that the ministry was stopped from using the said resources are UNTRUE.
The Ministry of ICT is committed to the principles of transparency, accountability, and efficient resource management. We uphold
these standards to ensure that all expenditures are managed
prudently. We implore our media stakeholders to REFRAIN from defamatory attacks of any form on our officials and encourage constructive
dialogue.
The Ministry of ICT and National Guidance remains open to
sharing information with the public and media, in line with our
commitment to open government principles.
