The public sector in developing countries
experience various challenges that have stagnated the
implementation of e-government-for-citizens especially in local
municipalities. The specific focal point is to highlight the egovernment
actor�s viewpoint on what causes the failures of egovernment
implementation within local municipalities. The
actors are perceived as the creators and transformers on
systems and their input is critical in providing a critical
reflection on e-government. A purposive sample of 35 egovernment
actors was interviewed to give their perspectives on
factors that hinder the implementation of fully functional egovernment
portals at the municipal level.
