So far much of government use of digital media - national and local and I have been involved in both - has tried to 'digitise' existing thought processes. There is plenty of PR activity and lots of internet content, but the basic thought processes in most public authorities have changed little.
A key problem is that digital technologies require a degree of openness and sharing of information to deliver real gains in participation and in productivity that holders of power are unwilling to concede. This is as true in many established democracies as it is elsewhere. The illusion of participation is much easier to deliver than the reality

In my Country you can go to the Municipality and print out your birth certificate yourself through their system or even you ask for it to be delivered at your home via internet.
In my country, according to the state agency, according to local village communities and schools are connected to the Internet to get news and information. However, excluding the village at a distance far greater prosperity and communities are in the mountains . Although the Internet and digital technology will be important in the development of country, but it is not a really solution to put an end to poverty. The poor are still intact. They need income to support themselves and their family to survive in our top priority. It depends on the willingness of leaders to solve problems.
One example is the establishment of internet access points in all districts, counties and sub-counties to encourage more participation in debates on topic issues about service deliveries
