Let us take the whole thing with a pinch of salt as it is highly one sided story.

Governments having their services on web is absolutely must but passing a decree against apps does seem a bit odd to me. Isn't it the case that more citizens own phones and have relatively poor connection speeds than other combinations ? Isn't it the case that citizens would be better served by apps that do one job right and do so more efficiently than web ?

I can understand the cost part but it appears to me that the government agency has shut down a completely new avenue of innovation for government agencies with this decree.
