As you might know, our Ministry is a coordinator for the national program, which is implemented by all government agencies. That is why we want to see a complete picture on digitalization, including comments and suggestions. I hold meetings with the IT companies but feedback from service recipients is also required”, Asskar Zhumagaliyev, initiator of the establishment of digital commissioners, told.
