Former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has called on President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera-led-government to take immediate action and assist in restoring its hacked official Facebook page.
In a statement, the party’s spokesperson Shadreck Namalomba describes the hacking of their Facebook page as a deliberate attempt to undermine their democratic rights and freedom of expression.
The statement reads in part:”This hacking incident is a clear indication of the growing threats to democracy and digital security in our country. We strongly condemn this cowardly act.”
The party has further requested a thorough investigation into the matter to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The government has yet to comment on the matter.
