Former Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga has called for intensified war on cybercrime after a Facebook user claimed he was dead. An account identified as Zecky Zecky Owish on Friday posted ‘breaking news’ of Magwanga’s ‘death.’Magwanga yesterday condemned the post, saying he was alive. He said censoring and proper surveillance of social media platforms by the government will boost the fight against terrorism. “It is imperative for the state to closely monitor information posted on social media because terrorists also use these platforms,” the former lawmaker said. Magwanga said he was unmoved by such propaganda, saying it was an archaic way of doing politics.
