Cabinet adopts tablets as President William Ruto chairs first paper-less meeting

President William Ruto chaired a meeting of his Cabinet at State House on Tuesday, January 31.

In a historic departure from tradition, all materials needed for the meeting were loaded onto newly purchased tablets that were issued to every Cabinet Secretary.

Cabinet Secretaries arrived at State House, Nairobi, without the traditional bulky folders, large briefcases and huge files.

This is in line with the government’s agenda to digitise service delivery.
