Media's Position Paper on Cybercrime Bill
On the 29th March 2021, the MRCG and SLAJ held a consultative meeting by bringing together key media stakeholders in Sierra Leone to discuss provisions of the Cybercrime Bill 2020. This follows Parliament’s directive to the Ministry of Information and Communications to have
further engagements on the cybercrime bill that was being debated. The Bill seeks “to provide for the prevention of the abusive use of computer systems; to provide for the timely and effective collection of electronic evidence for the purpose of investigation and prosecution of cybercrime; to provide for the protection of Critical National Information Infrastructure; to provide for facilitation of international cooperation in dealing with cybercrime matters and to provide for other related matters.”
