Gatare told the participants that, in order to fully exploit opportunities brought about by e-Services such as e-Health, e-Commerce, e-Education and e-Banking, there was need for a strong and effective national organisation which addresses all issues related to internet governance.

“We have to work together to address the recurrent issues of cyber crime, and internet consumer privacy and protection by putting in place a sound regulatory framework which conforms to the global trends,” he stressed.
