What is happening with our security.Just afew months ago acouple of prominent citizens(Ministers) have been robbed.And today we are talking about the President.We must open our eyes.
If computer hackers have reached the extent of entering into the state house, then one can deduce to say that there is minimal security in this country. I guess the one should be amongst those who are very close or within the cumpass.Mention the name of the suspect, then crue would be given. Hackers are dangerous since important government infomation could be unveiled to the aleins.
Mg or State hse/police can’t overcome,talk of investn this alone. Wait and c.
Malawi a poor and pathetic country with senseless people heading important govt arms.
hacking is serious! do you mean something else?
