The Information and Communication Technology Minister says the amendments to the Communications Act of 2009 have started and that consultations and modifications have been made to the Bill. Peya Mushelenga noted that due to the volume of the proposed amendments, “it is suggested that the Act be repealed and replaced. The final Bill is awaited from the Ministry of Justice.” The ministry has been reviewing the Act to address shortcomings in the legislation. The ministry had said that the review was necessary because several ICT sub-sectors have been experiencing legal hitches in enforcing and implementing some provisions of the Communication Act that was implemented in 2011.
