Since the last decade of the 20 th century, there have been rapid advances in information technology (IT). IT increases the efficiency of activities in diverse fields. The ability of IT to increase the efficiency of coordination of various activities makes it suitable in governance. E-governance increases the efficiency of government activities. In addition, e-governance reduces the costs of governance (Roberts, 2011). However, e-government may face stiff opposition from the political class. This is because it may reduce the power of legislators (Stalebrink & Frisco, 2011). E-government should take full advantage of various technological tools to increase its efficiency (West, 2004). Literature Review Coordination is vital in the efficiency of virtually every organization. It ensures that the organization undertakes the right activities. Coordination helps in synchronizing the elements of a system to form a coherent and integrated whole. Roberts (2011) states that it is impossible understand coordination in terms of the results of the coordination activity. However, it is easy to understand coordination using its efforts to integrate and design system activity. Therefore, coordination is just the means to an end. There are two different perspectives of coordination. These include focus on what is coordinated and focus on how coordination takes place. What is being coordinated determines the means of coordination that one may employ. System parts and how the system parts differ from each other determine the system functioning and efficiency. System parts may have unique attributes that may hinder certain types of coordination mechanisms. Coordination of system parts is critical in efficient running of the government. Lack of proper coordination of system parts may lead to failure of government. Therefore, it is vital for the government to ensure that there is differentiation and integration of system parts. This ensures the smooth running of government activities (Roberts, 2011). In the quest for system integration governments may employ different strategies. Technology is one of the tools that help in system integration. Web-based technologies are some of the vital tools that help in system integration. Governments around the world use IT to improve their performance. E-government and the New Public Management practices, which include decentralization, privatization, and performance management, have revolutionized public management in the last 15 years. E-government refers to the use of information and communication technology (ICT) by the government to provide information and services to the public. Use of ICT by the government has also led to the rise of e-democracy. E-democracy refers to the use of ICT by the government to provide citizens with access to information on political processes and choices (Lee, Chang & Berry, 2011). E-government and e-democracy are important tools of modern governance. According to Lee, Chang, and Berry (2011) e-governance started in the early 1990s. This is the period when governments recognized the importance of web-based IT in outreach to citizens. However, Lee, Chang, and Berry (2011) believe that e-government and e-democracy abandon the conventional representative system. Instead, they ensure that there is more direct citize
