    • Administrator of this project, candidly ask yourself tough expert questions on Data governance measure you have put into this project. Requirement Gathered aside, do an End-to-End analysis. If possible allow a few experts to put up a mock attack to help you know the vulnerability. Otherwise, get ready for more damaging leakages.

  1. I pray some don’t fall into a temptation of surfing the net throughout their session. If using internet bundles settled by tax payers, there may be need to put up some filters. Otherwise FB and entire blogosphere community, here comes your vulnerable MPs. Consider strong encryption. Otherwise, we will be sharing your devices with impunity. Sad but real in the age of cyber warfare.

  2. What surprised me was the chief whip Musukwa swinging on his chair whilst giving the brief. Sharp journalists would normally give advice like don’t swing as you are addressing the press. The man was not composed, but do these guys undergo orientation. I think he is a good guy but needs to be helped

  3. Access what under this dictatorship? They will be restricted to only state sponsored websites praising lungu. Please opposition mps this is a trap as they will be hacking those tablets to keep a tab on you..I plead with you all not to use your tablets. This is a dictatorship

  4. Access internet for what? Connecting to Facebook and Whatsup chatting to the Parliament Motel prozzies. These Grade 12 empty tins couldn’t read the constitution surely what can the possibly research online…really laughable.

  5. Chawama chasokona lelo Abana Ba Zambia baletila chawama. Whoever did this, thank you very much. Job well done.

  6. IS LUSAKA TIMES TELLING ME THAT THEY DIDN’T WATCH HH ON MUVI T.V…. THIS WEB IS DAMN SUPPORTER FOR PF. THEY FOLLOWED KASEBA UP TO MAZABUKA JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT TEETH TEETH BUT FAILED TO REPORT ON HH WHO WAS JUST HERE NEAR MASS MEDIA. YOU ARE FOOLS BA LT
