Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has proposed the regulation of social media in a bid to tackle the growing misuse of digital platforms.
Atwoli, who spoke during the COTU Shop Stewards Meeting on Saturday, April 5, called on members of the public to tone down negative criticism, warning that social media misuse could drive away potential investors.
The COTU boss noted that the spread of misinformation and propaganda on social media could incite violence and lead to conflicts such as those witnessed in some African countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Somalia, and South Sudan. "Those on social media must stop propaganda.
You must love this country; if you do not love it, investors will go away.
