The Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (Macra) says it is coordinating the development of a law that will help Malawi fight cyber crime which poses a serious threat to the country.<\/p>\n
Macra deputy director general, Francis Bisika, has since called on members of Parliament to join a new warfare against crime in the cyber world.<\/p>\n
He was speaking when members of the Parliamentary Media Committee visited Macra head offices in Blantyre on Friday 11th September, 2015<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know about the conventional physical crime but there is a new contemporary crime that is wrecking havoc in the cyber world,\u201d said Bisika.<\/p>\n
He said Macra had taken a strong stance against cyber crime and asked the MPs to support legislation brought before the National Assembly aimed at addressing the challenges that had been brought by technological advancements.<\/p>\n
Parliamentary Media and Communications Committee chairperson Sam Kawale said he was glad that the relationship his committee has forged with stakeholders in the communications sector keeps growing strong.<\/p>\n
Kawale asked players in the sector to develop the habit of sharing with the committee their success stories not just their struggles.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is often shared with us are the low moments. We would like the stakeholders to share with us their success stories as well,\u201d said Kawale.<\/p>\n
Members of the committee were taken on a tour of Macra\u2019s Broadcasting Monitoring Unit, the Consolidated ICT Regulatory Management System (CIRMS) network operating centre and the Spectrum Monitoring Van.<\/p>\n
