    "content": "Let me thank my immediate two colleagues who have already put in a lot of expertise in this. Once it is enacted, I strongly believe it will go a long way in trying to bring cybercrime to its low levels, especially in this country and also make us use these devices and the new technology with ease. Technology is here with us. It is here to stay. It has much dynamism. Therefore, we should be prepared at all cost, knowing very well there are those who are out there taking advantage of these new technologies and innovations, to make a kill on ignorant people or those who have not managed to get information on this. More so, I support the Bill because it is going to give teeth to the law enforcement officers so that they can prosecute cybercrime with precision and give penalties which are punitive enough to deter those people who are bent on doing those crimes. Cybercrimes range from simple pornographic postage of materials, defamatory statements and many others. We have more complicated issues which can affect a whole economy. They can affect a big business and bring it down all at once or even bring down a Government. It is because the way information is relayed through this technology is so fast that something becomes viral within a very short spell. The damage which is done, if not checked, can be very hard to address and difficult. By the time you go to address it, something serious will have already taken route. Criminals also have know-how on how to take advantage of even those who are prosecuting those cases. We need trained personnel. The personnel or officers who will be dealing with prosecuting or investigating this should be well versed. They should be well trained to get access to the root of the problem and make a follow-up so that they do not get lost on the way."
