The prevalence of smart
government is increased with the availability of Smartphone. Since most
citizens have already smart phones, this increased the accessibility of the
governments’ mobile application to perform wide range of administrative tasks
like renewal of driver’s license, paying commodity bills or even purchasing
reservations in parks, recreation area and many others.
With the studies
conducted about smart government mobile application, it is suggested by experts
that the government agencies must improve the advancement of mobility by
pursuing initiative of national broadband, community Wifi, application
authentication which are approved by the government and conducting contests on
the development of mobile application[4].
One of the foreseen significance
of smart government is that it shows great significance in improving the access
to information and services, and provision of mobility through the availability
of new network channels. Indeed, smart governance can be a positive influence
in making the citizen more engaged in the paradigm of a transparent and just
government system.
