The Government has handed over 250 Starlink satellite kits to the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works as part of efforts to boost connectivity.

Speaking at a workshop on service delivery standards and State land policy, Minister of Information Communication Technology (ICT), Postal and Courier Services, Tatenda Mavetera, said the move shows Government’s push to embrace tech-driven solutions and fast-track digital transformation.
