The Ministry of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence remains committed to ensuring that every citizen across the country can engage in the digital age with confidence and ease.
The affirmation came from Deputy Permanent Secretary at the Ministry, Rhoda Patiram, at the official launch of the La Brea ICT Access Centre on Friday.
“For this government, access means opening the doors to opportunity, equipping our people with skills, and ensuring that communities have the tools and technology they need to succeed. That is precisely why we are gathered here this morning.”
PS Patiram said the La Brea ICT Access Centre, located at the La Brea Community Centre, will be a transformative space in the area.
“It represents freedom to learn, to innovate, to connect, and to transform lives. It is the freedom for a student to complete an online course and become the first in her family to earn a degree. Freedom for a young entrepreneur to establish his first business in the digital space. And freedom for a grandparent to access essential government services without standing in long queues under the hot sun.”
She is encouraging all residents to make good use of the space.
“Let this Centre be a place where ideas are born, where skills are sharpened, and where futures are built. Let it be a place where you can access technology and unlock your true potential. To our educators, community leaders, and local organisations, I encourage you to partner with us. Bring your programmes, your workshops, your mentorship to ensure that this Centre remains part of La Brea’s development.”
