“If one opens the social media and
internet, he/she will surely come across abusive language directed at
our leaders. Yet it is very easy to track and arrest all those who are
doing that.
It is unfortunate that responsible organs have remained quiet,” complained the backbenchers, led by Mr Nadir Abdul-latif Yussuf.
He said it was annoying “to see our
presidents being attacked everyday but no action has been taken against
the culprits who also attack other people, which is a misuse of the
social media’’.
In response to the concern raised, the
Minister for Infrastructure, Communications and Transport, Ambassador
Ali Karume, said that Zanzibar was in the process of considering use of
the Union cyber crime law or enacting its own cyber law.
“It is unacceptable for some people to
misuse social media; we are considering either to adopt the current law
approved by the Union Parliament or form our own law for Zanzibar,” he
said
