Sharael Taha on Public Sector (Governance) (Amendment) Bill

Proposed changes to enable government data sharing with external parties for better delivery of public services mark an important evolution towards building, safeguarding and scaling trust in a digital state, said MP Sharael Taha. In parliament on Monday (Jan 12), he asked about assessing the readiness and capability of external partners entrusted with public data, possible support for those that deliver strong public outcomes but lack digital maturity, and whether a risk-based approach can be taken based on classification and sensitivity of data shared.
