SATER: ‘10284 USERS FOR MOW’S ELECTRONIC SERVICES DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2015’

Information Technology Director at the Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs & Urban Planning Hisham Sater revealed that the number of users for the Ministry’s 10 electronic services during the first half of 2015 reached 10284. The services can be accessed through both the Ministry’s portal www.works.gov.bh, and the eGovernment portal www.bahrain.bh.

According to Sater, statistics revealed that the Materials Testing Results Services targeted the highest number of users with 7572 users, after which came the Traffic Diversion Request eService with 2114 users, and then the Material/Product Assessment eService with 284 users. The remaining number of users used the rest of the electronic services available which are the report road fault, sanitary maintenance request, sanitary connection request, traffic signals request, abnormal load permission, contractor pre-qualification, traffic diversion request and building maintenance request.

Sater added that the Ministry seeks to provide high quality services to citizens and residents by providing the eServices, which contributed tremendously to saving time and effort for both the users and the directorates concerned with each service.

‘The rise in the number of users for the eServices indicates the increasing awareness of the Bahraini society. The eServices allowed them to process governmental handlings with more ease and in less time. It has also strengthened communication with the Government,’ said Sater.
