Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Information says the government is drafting a data bill on cyber security to protect information systems against hackers in the country.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jacob Maiju Baba Korok, the Deputy Ministry of Information, Communication Technology, and Postal Service says the government is working on enhancing cyber security.<\/p>\n

Maiju spoke during the closing ceremony of the 17th annual Internet Governance Forums hosted by Ethiopia in Addis Ababa this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learn a lot of lessons, that using the internet has a double impact; both negative and positive,\u201d Maiju said in Addis Ababa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to put down the law and we are now drafting data protection and we will enhance cyber security to protect our children.\u201d<\/p>\n

The forum, hosting information and communication officials from the region \u2013 is under the theme: \u2018Resilient Internet for a Shared Sustainable and Common Future.\u2019<\/p>\n

In September 2022, the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs initiated cybercrimes and computer misuse laws to try perpetrators of internet offenses.<\/p>\n

The ministry also established a court to adjudicate cases related to the 35 crimes, including Unauthorized Data transmission, human and drug trafficking, computer hacking, espionage, economic sabotage, cyber terrorism, and sexual offense communication.<\/p>\n

Others include publication of false information and indecent content, impersonation and other identity-related offenses as well as disclosure of passwords, among others.<\/p>\n

The sentences for the crimes range between four, and twenty years of imprisonment.<\/p>\n
