CYBER crime and digital migration are the biggest challenges for the
Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology, the Cabinet
Secretary has said.
Speaking during the ICT Board workshop at White sands hotel in
Mombasa yesterday, ICT Secretary Fred Matiang'i said the government is
working hard to ensure these two obstacles are overcome. Matiang'i said
Kenya needs to become a cyber crime free zone so as to attract more
investors.
“How can someone invest in an area where they are certain criminals
might attack and manipulate their secret information. We need to solve
this issue fast,” he said.
Matiang'i said Kenyans need to change with technology and digital
migration should not be a centre of controversy. “Anyone is free to go
to the court to demand for anything. But why should we mark time on an
issue where we can all sit on a round table and discuss it,” he said.
