Government says it will not hesitate
to shut down any internet café operating illegally.
Transport, Works, Supply and
Communications Minister Yamfwa Mukanga sounded the warning following the
mushrooming of internet cafes.
Mr Mukanga said all those who want to
venture into the running of internet cafes should first register their company
with Zambia Information and Communication Authority (ZICTA).
He said it is illegal for any internet
café to operate without a trading certificate from ZICTA.
Mr Mukanga said all internet cafes
which are not registered risk being closed by government.
The Minister explained that it’s
important for people dealing in information transfer to be registered with
ZICTA and get trading certificate.
He said government will soon send
inspectors to go round inspecting internet cafes operating without trading
certificates.
Mr Mukanaga said he expects internet
café owners to abide by the laid down procedure.
