MOCA Struggle to Make Charges
The Joint Select Committee on the Cybercrimes Act met on Thursday, April 21, 2022 to debate sections of the legislation, while reading recommendations. Government senator Natalie Campbell-Rodriques insists the committee meet with the Major Organized Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency, MOCA.
The agency had expressed concern about not being able to make charges under the laws written. Senator Natalie Campbell-Rodriques is urging the Joint Select Committee on the Cybercrimes Act to sit with MOCA.
This as MOCA admits they struggle to make charges, under the laws written by the cybercrimes act. She says MOCA’s recommendation should not be neglected, but instead the technical team should meet with both MOCA and the Director of Public Prosecutions to get a better understanding of the situation. Contrastingly, Assistant Attorney-General Jeffrey Foreman notes upon perusal of MOCA’s submission they did not indicate in the past any difficulties exercising these powers.
But instead was an interpretation of the legislation. However, Senator Rodriques reiterates the importance of a meeting. Meanwhile, Chief Technical Director in the Technology Ministry, Wahkeen Murray offers another recommendation from the University of Technology, stating there’s need for replication service that can handle real time servers.
