The
Pan-African Parliament (PAP) has in recognition of Africa's challenges towards
universal access to internet and cyber security vulnerabilities, resolved to
develop a Model for use by African Union (AU) Member States when enacting their
own domestic legislation.
This
was the outcome of a report by the Permanent Committee on Transport, Industry,
Communications, Energy, Science and Technology on access to information and
digital rights.
Presenting the report on behalf of the Committee’s Chairperson, Hon. Behdja Lammali, the Rapporteur, Hon. Ashinie Astin Titoyik highlighted various issues with regards to the Internet Governance Forum Parliamentary track that brings together Parliamentarians in discussing internet governance. "We recommend that we organize a workshop to review the Malabo Convention so as to identify gaps which need to be addressed in that Convention. This will include presentations on the ongoing development of a Model Cyber Security Law," said Hon. Ashinie Astin Titoyik.
