Does Everything Have To Be An App?

Does Everything Have To Be An App?

With the launch of the new KitaJaga app by the Economy Ministry, we talk about the app-ification of our government. First, we look at how much the government has spent on developing these apps, and whether we’re actually tracking their effectiveness. And then later on, are apps really the way to go anyway? We get into it.
