While the Prime Minister has already engaged with providers, the President made it clear current performance won’t cut it. Meanwhile, the government is pouring over $19 million into ICT infrastructure to bring high-speed internet to 140,000 rural residents via satellite terminals and expanded connectivity. Beyond connectivity, over 230 ICT hub managers and nearly 3,000 digitally literate citizens—including many women—are being empowered locally. The President also highlighted broader investments in education, healthcare, and indigenous economic development, stressing that while progress is underway, equity remains a work in progress.
